    Anyone feel like helping a complete idiot?

    Hello guys. I suppose I'll start the ball rolling then. Can the unit be taken apart easily and some nice close up pictures taken of the inside, showing any circuit boards. If the PCBs can be removed without damage a picture of the other side would also be a good idea. Thanks Adam

    Hello everybody

    Hello Ping Pong Lady It depends on what your daughter is using the batteries for. One way you could prove is to both use the same piece of equipment and you use some better batteries and your daughter use the cheap ones. See who lasts the longest. Thanks Adam
