it came with 4 AA batts. i think its a pretty good deal since you got yours for 27.50
defintely- post the link to the auction so i can see why i missed it- i looked the night before last and yesterday before i settled on mine and didn't see anything cheaper than mine that was new in box.
I think I got mine for $15.00 with shipping include from eBay also. It's quite a deal. Comes with 4 AA batteries. You should definitely check eBay out. They have some sweet deals on batteries.
a 30 minute duracell charger, the white one with individual lights, new, for 15$ shipped!??
ahh, gotcha. yeah i'm very partial to stuff being NIP ; ).
Always been like that, i think because i have bad luck even with new stuff, so imagine something used and/or opened! lol
BTW, i found out (not sure if it's been mentioned) that Rayovac indeed has stopped making IC3 and once Radio Shack runs out of their stock, that will be it for them too, since they were manufactured for RS by Rayovac.
I went to RS to purchase a few sets since they are so cheap at approx. $7 per set of 4.
The reason Rayovac gave? They didn't sell enough as per their super high volume requirements.
i am also curious about the new Duracell 1000mah...for endurance racing of course.
well, i got my Duracell 30 min charger today- it's black! Anyway, it's very nice- i charged my new intellects and first charge those things are CRRAZY! I know magic claimed they are punchy as all hell then dip off, but for a first charge they seemed very punchy for VERY long...mind you i have my new expanded rcp setup so it's very fast and wide but with the narrow hairpins...with a setup like mine it's alot of timing on a track like this and the punch seemed to stay put as the turn and trigger timing didn't have to be altered from lap bunch to lap bunch (if that makes any sense). i am very impressed with these batteries and the damn charger. VERY IMPRESSED...
i have the duracell 15 minute charger. i charge each battery individually because i find they dont always charge at the same rate. when doing it one at a time i get full peak for each battery although it takes a lot longer. i will probably pick up the duracell 30 minute one if it has seperate circuits for each battery...ultimately the 30 minute one will be faster then the 15 minute one due to the fact i do each one individually.
i use the duracell nimh 1000 they are A++++ for power and speed, although i have only compared it to standard non rechargeable radio shack batts. the radio shack version was complete garbage. i get about 45 minutes of racing time with the 1000, there is definite power loss by that time, but not to the point where the car wont move anymore. mostly stop at that point because my fiance has had enough of racing because it is so friggen hot out

If someone wants one of these 30 minute chargers, search for this # on the bay: 160018705824
Oh, and I have this Energizer 30 minute charger that works somewhat well (other than over-heating the batteries in my opinion - no fan) CH30MNCP4. I don't think it's available anymore... but with a small fan, it does a decent job while at the track. (At home I use my ICE set with a very small delta peak to individually get the cells to their best and then discharge them on a novak tray to equalize.)
i just won the duracell 30 minute charger, the one with the 4 lights for 9.00 shipped. i am siked. i have the 15 minute duracell also, so now i can charge a whole bunch of stuff...i dont really like the 15 minute one though.

the duracell 30 minute charger is amazing. it did all the batteries and since every slot has its own light, it does each battery seperately. i love it, well worth the 8 and change dollars i paid for it
