(...) Hi Dave, I was lucky to receive an Emerald train as kind of beta tester. It got motorized with a XL-PF-motor as intended in the building instruction, but I have used an old 9V battery box (equipped with 6 pc. of 1.2V NiMH rechargable (...) (16 years ago, 4-Apr-09, to lugnet.trains)

(...) They made it 7.4V because all lithium polymer battery cells are 3.6 - 3.8V. Since this is a pack with 2 cells in series, you get 7.4V. A 3 cell pack is typically 11.2V. As you can see, keeping the old 9V system was not really an option if (...) (16 years ago, 3-Apr-09, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
