NERF Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack

This Nerf Rival battery upgrade is decent, although it is still inferior to stronger voltage modifications (namely, LiPo or IMR batteries). This rechargeable battery pack will replace the need for a battery tray and noticeably increase the performance of your Rival motorized blaster. It is labeled as a 7.2v NiMH 1500 mAH Rechargable battery and comes with a wall-charge cable. There is a small red light on the adaptor plug that stays on while charging and it will blink when it is fully charged. Once installed, the rev-up time increased my Khaos by 3/4 of a second, and it added approximately 13 Feet Per Second (FPS) as well. It also fits in my Nemesis, and Hera (so far; at the time of this review, 11-8-2017). It will also increase the Rival Rounds Per Second (RRPS) another 2 balls (approx 5 RRPS instead of 3 RRPS). This battery will also be a lot lighter than the store- bought Alkalines (i.e. x6 Duracell/Energizer 1.5v D or C batteries) and should save you close to 3 lbs., which is kind of a big deal when running around with an already large blaster in your hands. It is suggested that you wait for the price to drop though, since I purchased my battery pack at close to the entry price (mines was an Amazon Warehouse Deal; used) of $30.00 (It is currently $24). Perhaps the best part about this rechargeable battery pack is the fact this will end up paying for itself because it is rechargeable. You know? So you do not have to keep buying (and wasting) lots of large and costly D (or C)- sized batteries.

This improved our rivals so much. First of all, D batteries are SO expensive! We got this for our nemesis and it saves a lot of headache. I have yet to need to recharge it after countless battles with the kids. It slides in and out so easy! We loved it so much that we ordered another one when we bought the Hera. Works great in that too. My absolute favorite feature of it is how lightweight it is. About a third of the weight of D batteries. If you have any of the rivals that accept this battery pack then you NEED THIS.

I purchased a NERF Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack last year. We love the additional power that the NERF Rival Rechargeable Battery Pack give our Nerf guns. So I purchased another one with the new price drop. Now we can have multiple batteries charge at one for continual play. Highly recommended. Especially with the price drop.

If your dart blaster can take this battery then buy it! So much better performance and lighter than those big batteries. Charging it is a breeze.

Its alot lighter then the 6D batteries it replaced. The rate of fire is hard to gage because I dont want to buy new D cells to test it against. But it does appear to have a high rate of fire. Being rechargeable is a huge money saver. We do alot of Nerf wars.

This thing powers the nerf gun to the lecture level. The rate of fire must have doubled and the velocity is significantly different than off the shelf batteries.

Used in a nerf gun. Perfect fit and charged quickly.

Easily worth the price of admission if you are not planning on opening up the gun to modify the internals--this will make your Nemesis shoot a little harder and faster while also decreasing the weight. Dont waste your time and money on Alkalines! Sure, you can squeeze out some more performance with a screwdriver, soldering iron, and some switches and wire, but who has time for that?

It does what it does. The plug in charger is small, but still a bit chunky, so it doesnt sit nice and neat, but that is expected for the type of battery pack. I saw some people said they use LiPo for a lightweight option. Not sure how much the difference is, but this battery is still pretty lightweight, but even with the blaster itself, I have the Nemesis MXVII - 10K, its overall a hefty weapon. Well see how long it lasts, but so far so good.

I put this on my Rival nemisis, this basically goes for the price that you would pay for 3 Recharges of batteries, so its well worth it. Not only that there is a significant fire rate increase, and FPS increase without having to do any internal modifications. Its well worth the price unless you plan on rewiring everything and using a LiPo.
