Powering a tribal.

creamysmooth · 05-24-2002, 09:46 PM

When you charge the tribal, do any lights lite up in the back? cause i put my charger plug in, "1st time i've had to charge it, bought it used"

when i plug the charger into the gun no lights lite up....and i can't use a regular 9v battery, is this stuff normal?

nice if someone would help

Even though I don't know about recharging it, since my Mephisto is non-rechargable, I'll give my 2 cents

Why can't you use regular 9 volts?

not to recharge them as i would forsee a great spillage of corrosive liquid all over your precious tribal!!!!!!

also i seem to have had that prob but i think mine is cuz of a bad battery, not sure see if haveblue knows

i put in a regular 9v, and it booted, but it would not shoot, the light wouldn't even flash, turned it off, put in 9.6v battery it came with, worked fine. but i need to still recharge it...lol.

I'm sure there is someone who's owned more, but of the 9 Tribals I've owned "ALL" of them were able to operate on a standard 9V alkiline battery. However, I will admit that I've only had one where all the little lights worked.

what are the 2 bottom lights on the back plate for anyway

Power = Green
Dead battery = Red

I think thats how it is. Thats how it is(well used to be) on my Mephy.

Hey have blue i dont have a red LED anymore and last weekend when I was playing my green light was flashing. What on earth does that mean?
