Well my shiny new sigelei zmax v3 has arrived what hasn't arrived are my batteries maybe they might be on a van. I ordered them from torchy on ebay.

Inside the zmax box is a little leaflet advising me I must use protected batteries. I ordered non protected as I thought the zmax had built in protection ? I'm sure that's what I read. I hope so as I don't want further delays. Hopefully someone is going to advise me that's just sigelei covering there asses.

The zmax has built-in protection. I've used mine with non-protected batteries for ages.
Hope yours arrive soon, what a bummer!

You should not use protected batteries in a Zmax, as it has its own built in protection. The protection on the battery can interfere with the Zmax built in protection.
Having said that, I have read posts from others that they have had no problems using protected batteries in an electronic mod.

Fingers crossed that you get your batteries later today

I'm out and about at moment so still could miss them if they have to knock. Very tempted to pop in maplins to see if they sell them but I imagine they'd be silly money. Balaclava in the glove box though, I can negotiate better wearing that. You know it's for cold days really

Maplins do sell them. £14.99 EACH

You're lucky though - they're out of stock!!
