SLG 09 UL power issues

[Shwat]

Just got my UL, and Ive played 1 game with it. Shot a box through it. When I was firing a few shots with my friend, the LED was flicking between green, blue and purple. I assumed it was the battery, even though it was the battery that came with it.

I changed the battery with a Duracell Plus, turned my gat on, and the light just faded and it all shut down. I tried 2 other batteries and it did the same. These batteries I have tested on my loader, and it works like a dream.

Can someone shed some light?

I have a team mate that also seems to be having th same prob, he will put in a brand new procell, shoot off like 3 pots and its got a low battery.

On the UL sometimes the battery contacts don't have a very good connection with the battery which can cause the issues you describe. You can try wedging something under the base of the battery like some card, this may help.

Hi

If the LED flickers blue while you are shooting, or even if the gun is just turned on then it means the voltage output from the battery is low, and you need to replace it. This can occasionally happen even with a relatively new battery, it is possible to randomly get a flat cell out of the box.

Also, something to take note of, is that not all 9v batteries are the exact same dimensions, this means the void in the grip frame for the battery has to be somewhat generous to allow for this. I have found that with some brands of battery, namely Duracell Procell, that you have to a place a small wedge at the bottom of the battery to ensure a good connection with the contacts. Otherwise you will find that the LED fades and the marker turns itself off.

If you require any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail - eurotech@dyeprecision.com.

Put a bit of folded paper at the bottom. That did the trick just fine

Thanks guys. Much love

Ok, though technically not a power issue, I thought Id post it here to save making a new thread.

Every game I play, after a while, my ASA starts to wobble and slide. This cant be normal! I need to tighten the screws after every game?

try dabbing a little tiny bit of lock tight on the screw to hold it tight

i had same problem but im using rechargable energizer batteries now and they are slightly larger than the norm and thus have a nice tight fit.

Ill have to get me some of them then, even if Asda does do 2 x 9v Duracell for £3

rechargable energizers cost £7.50, i have 2 and alternate between using them when the other is charging.. obviously they wont last as long as a single duracel but 1 will last a whole day so after a day of playing take it out and recharge them the day before u play and ur all set to go.
