Macon's battery bit the dust.

I want a new one. I'm not sure if it's the battery or the charger but I want to know so i get the right one. Does anyone know what it usually is, or do I have to figure it out? $:-\$

i'd say go fo the LIPO from that german company. i use LIPO's in my RC aircraft and they are far superior.
again, no affiliation blah blah..

If you get the LiPoly battery, make sure you get the charger with it. The standard green charger won't work with the white battery.

I sent my charger and battery to Ugobe a few weeks ago after talking with the support team. They eventually tested both and told me they were both bad and that they were going to send me replacements from the lab (not new since I am out of warranty). It's been over two weeks and no package has arrived. Customer support is no longer answering phone calls or emails, so I am concerned that they may be gone!!!

Does anyone here have an extra charger you can sell me since you have more than one Pleo, or since one of your Pleos has gone to the great robotic playground in the sky (hate to sound like a vulture but that is the case)? I can't find any place that sells chargers even though I still have two other batteries. I'd be happy to get the LiPoly battery and charger from the German company but I don't speak German and they did not answer my email....

I have not been able to wake up my Deaky for months and I miss playing with him, and the kids keep asking me to wake him up.

Please help!!!!

Aw I hope you can get one. Have you tried ebay by any chance?

DeakyDad · « **Reply #5 on:** March 13, 2009, 05:55:54 PM »

Yep. Looked on ebay lots of times. I got a spare battery but nobody selling a charger.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:04:55 PM »

Pity

I tried googling it, but no luck... There must be somewhere that has them...

Deakydad, head to vividstore:

http://www.vividstore.co.uk

They should be able to help...

GOOD LUCK!

DeakyDad · « **Reply #8 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:25:57 PM »

I just found that one thanks!!!!!

Are they legitimate? And will they ship to the US? Otherwise I will have to have it shipped to my cousin in London.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #9 on:** March 13, 2009, 06:53:01 PM »

They have a contact form

Guess you will have to ask them

DeakyDad · « **Reply #10 on:** March 17, 2009, 12:32:59 PM »

Heard back from Vivid Store. They only ship to UK.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 17, 2009, 04:23:19 PM »

Really? Wow that's too bad

Perhaps they know of someone else though...

mweed · « **Reply #12 on:** March 17, 2009, 08:46:42 PM »

I'm pretty sure the guys at PleoRoom.com will ship world-wide. And they speak english.

DeakyDad · « **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2009, 02:36:11 AM »

I asked my cousin in England to order for me from Vivid Store. Hopefully this will work.

Does pleoroom.com sell the LiPoly battery and charger egg?

grumpy · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:13:16 AM »

It appears to be a dead end, anyway. They just sell the battery, not the charger. The only places I've found that sell the LiPoly are Germany and Taiwan. Neither one responded to queries in english.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2009, 01:30:17 PM »

Try the google translator perhaps

It is really bad if Pleo owners can't buy new chargers anywhere

DeakyDad · « **Reply #16 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:20:15 PM »

Thanks to helpful cousin in London who ordered a cradle and shipped it to me, we were able to finally charge up Deaky's battery and get him going. Happy dino and family. I can't wait to let the kids see him tomorrow when they wake up.

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2009, 11:26:40 PM »

Aw make sure you post some photos for us

Dirk · « **Reply #18 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:02:00 PM »

Where can I buy the LiPo batteries and chargers?

mweed · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2009, 11:03:13 PM »

So far, the only places I have seen them listed is Germany and Taiwan.

Underdog · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2009, 12:27:24 PM »

Ebay has a few and one with battery hope that helps. it's hard being a super hero.

Tizwiz7 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 04, 2009, 05:14:53 AM »

Hey guys, does anyone know of a place online that actually has Pleo batteries in stock? I could really do with a spare one.

Thanks
Tizzy

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #22 on:** May 04, 2009, 05:30:01 AM »

Does vivid store have any in?

Edit: Hmm no they don't seem to at the moment.

The Australian Robot shop has them but I'm not sure where they post to, they are expensive too: http://aurobo.com.au/product_info.php?cPath=22&products_id=55&osCsid=f4hu87c6fldr7ovsuh82qj8v07

Tizwiz7 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 04, 2009, 05:44:03 AM »

Thanks I'll find out where they ship to. Yeah it's quite expensive but probably worth it in the long run. I don't mind spl,ashing out on my Pleo
