Why are people preferring a rechargeable lithium-Ion battery pack? Why not a rechargeable AA or 9V battery enclosure? Size? Power? Battery Life? Connectivity?
@JayCVenlo
you can buy the cheap stuff, I'm using 2 18650 li-ion cells (3.7V @ 2100mah, the 2 combined in series = 7.4V @ 2100mah), they cost me including the charger, $10.00
you don't need those ultra fancy chargers, but, if your money allows you to, buy it, they are very well built, and some of them can charge a bunch of different batteries types.

Cause you will need a lot of 1.2V rechargeable AA batteries to make it work they way it is suppose to work, and they don't last much, so you will end up with a very heavy and expensive battery pack that don't last much in the end of the story.
About the 9V batteries, well, they are pure crap.

Uploading a quick video I just took:
IronMan code demo: v2 (w/sound, leds & servos) - YouTube (give it a few)
thanks!
(can always adjust volume I suppose..)
but I hadnt thought about it to be honest... its VERY loud because it has nice resonance in the saber pieces it was currently in..
still fairly loud but not as much when out...
I just put in the AD/DC tunes for fun here/you guys..
also, I'm not a costumer really.. so I dont think I'd really wear it ever... more of a show piece.. (but I like to make things work as much as possible, within reason/my limitations) lol
probably sell this set-up in the helmet I have... and wait/save towards getting the real helmet I want.. (and re-do the same electronics/internals again)
but thats a long way off.. the helmet I currently have is a VERY rough cast... so trim, sand, re-shape..etc then figure out mounting..
then finish helmet ...finally install electronics..etc probably going to be a while since its just a personal side project.
