Robolympics Medal battery?

Capdiamont

I splurged with my tax money, and got the newest SX tool kit.

Problem is I don't know what size battery to put in it. I'm thinking N size. The tool kit page has nice links to software to put on it, and the schematic. I looked through both, and didn't find it. I tried searching the forms, with "any" as the date. Still no info.

Could we have the SX tool kit page updated with the info? Please?

Ok, finally got the car, and figured out that the "123" photo lithium works nicely! Play time!

You answered your questions before we could get to it! Yes the medal in the SX Tool Kit requires two 123 photo style batteries. They don't necessarily need to be lithium, but I am bet that is the easiest battery to find at Walgreens or other places with a large selection of batteries.

Next time you need batteries, and you already need a few goodies to cover shipping - check out Parallax.· They have the
CR-123A Lithium Battery, and even rated Rayovac as the optimum one·- they're probably cheaper, too!

The only problem, now is remembering they have batteries! Yep, much cheaper.

If you need batteries in a hurry, don't forget Radio Shack. Not cheaper, but available!
