NERF Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack

I had got this rechargeable battery pack for my son’s Nerf blaster. It a great performance boost that reduces weight, and increases rate of fire. However battery can die, if you don’t charge it for long periods of time. Overall good, but had to buy a replacement as the first battery died, even it was charged soon after.

This is way better than have 4-5 D batteries in the blaster. I put this in a nemesis and works great. Even though says for a chaos this works just fine. Easy mod that is relatively inexpensive compared to lipo and rewire. Also get a little bit of FPS boost which is awesome for 15 bucks. Highly recommend.

This battery is NiMH, which is a slight disappointment considering LiPo and LiFe batteries are common these days. NiMH is still decent technology and if you take care of it should last quite a while. It is 7.2 volts and intended to replace the 6 D batteries in your Nerf blaster. NiMH cells are 1.2 volts per cell and Alkaline batteries are 1.5 volts per cell, so by using this instead of Ds youre actually losing 1.8 volts. They could have made a 7 cell NiMH battery which would have been 8.4 volts... but they didnt. Compared to the D batteries, I really didnt notice a difference in rate of fire, accuracy or distance. D batteries are ridiculously expensive and heavy, so this is an upgrade in every sense... less weight, less expense long term. No regrets on this purchase, but Im pulling one star for Nerf using old technology and not having the forethought to add another cell to more accurately replicate the voltage of the original battery configuration. Keep in mind, 4 stars is great... a 3 cell LiPo or some more modern setup would be fantastic. TLDR version: Get it!

I dont own a Khaos, but having used this pack in my Nemesis, I can definitively say that this was definitely a solid investment. As I said in my Nemesis review, the rechargeable battery pack both increases blaster performance without modding, and saves money one would normally be blowing on D batteries. Not to mention no worrying about safe disposal! Definitely a solid investment for an avid Nerf nerd.

Im very happy with this Nerf Rival rechargeable battery pack. I live in Sweden so the charger that comes with the pack does not work here, but i saw that the connector that is used to charge the battery is a Tamiya. So i use my hobby grade battery charger for my RC cars and it works great :D

These battery powered nerf guns will drain your D batteries within a few days. This will save you money in the long run, lasts longer, and weighs less. Honestly, this is such a critical part that it should come standard with the nerf guns in the first place.
