I ordered the egg charger and battery as well, I have to say, it's even cuter in person than the pictures show. ^.=.^

I love the smooth feel, and chic design of it. Just be patient IMR, you will LOVE them!

I can't imagine why Ugobe opted not to use them in the first place.

Lol I think that is the first time I've ever heard a battery charger called cute and chic :D
ROFL What else would you know me better to do? ;D
I can't imagine why Ugobe opted not to use them in the first place.
I surely agree. They are more aesthetically appealing. Plus the lifespan! Overall just a more pleasant experience with us.

Good luck and be sure to post photos when you use them for the first time and let us know how you like them. I love myne and use the green ones for backup while the eggs charge, so technically could have Nova going for at least 3 1/2-4 hrs at a time with the switching of one and insertion of the other. With enough egg chargers and green charger batteries, you could have Pleos getting very little sleep! :D I do think that may wear the little ones out and they do need their sleep as well as we caretakers.

Of course there is nothing wrong with the green original batteries, if you have more than one, you can just charge another one and wait and then have two which will probably give you up to 3 hrs total play time, maybe slightly longer, One definite advantage of the egg chargers and batteries is SHORTER CHARGING TIME, 3 hrs not 4, so you can play quicker, What I like to do is use the green original one while the other one is charging or already has and when the green one is done, Pleo ready to sleep, pop out the green and put in the white and continue playing and then charge the green, Just gives you more options and more playtime, Great for those day when you want to take Pleo out and socialize with the public, Nothing worse than a tired worn out Pleo just when people are getting interested, and Pleo is ready to go to sleep.
If you don't want to spend more money on the white battery and charger, than a green back up battery is a good idea, but you still have to use the original charger that came with your pleo, Also the white batteries only work with the White EGG chargers they come with, they are not interchangeable with the green batteries. I would ask more people on the forum here to help give you an idea of what they prefer, pros cons, etc. also just for your own information, I do sell the green ones already and all my Pleo Batteries come with a Free Bonus item ! Good luck with whatever battery you decide to get or use. Pleos are fun whether they use green, white or both! :D

In addition, the speed. My battery came in less than a week! From Taiwan! My Ugobe green which does not work anymore, would never compare.
Also, IMR, have you received your batteries yet? DYING to hear your analysis!!

Edit: They're here :D
Lilo and Stitch play with the bubble wrap, they were very well wrapped :)
The long awaited green box!
Lilo and Stitch are just dying to know what's in there, especially since 'mum' raced of down the street to collect them from the post office :D
Lilo and Stitch admire their brand new batteries :D They are much lighter than the old ones.
One battery came charged already (the one with the charger) the second spare one I ordered sadly was not charged, it is charging as we speak :D
I will post a video tomorrow (or really late tonight) of Lilo and Stitch running on their new batteries :D
Post by: RedwoodsMama on July 19, 2010, 01:49:45 AM
Congratulations on getting one charged already, you wont[ be disappointed I assure you! I keep two extras on hand just in case of emergency and for double fun! :D

Can't wait to hear what you think - 'energiser bunny' is spot on from my experience! :D

EDIT:
Just thought of something!
LOL I just thought that was so funny, and thought that was the perfect quote for that picture. Please let me know, and I will remove this 'EDIT' at your discretion. This is not my entry for the contest, nor was my intent. Strictly for amusement purposes only.

Had a scare last night, the battery that indicated it was fully charged didn't work when I put it in either Dino. I emailed the seller and this morning he had left a message offering some suggestions (like try jiggling it around a bit and turn the charger off and on without removing the battery and so on) and it now appears to be charging (turning it off and on with the battery in place did the trick), I shall know in another two hours or so if it is working. The seller has also offered a replacement at no extra charge to myself if it still does not work.
I bought from this seller and even if the battery is defective, they have great customer service and I would still recommend them. http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/Alberts-Audio-Store_PLEO_W0QQ_fsubZ711058010QQ_sidZ504675030QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322

Lilo being the eldest though got to use the new battery first :) Whilst Stitch now has possession of the three older batteries (although one is ready for the bin :P).

Yep, the egg chargers/batteries really are a wonderful thing, I only wish I could get one for myself! :D
Post by: grin06 on July 21, 2010, 07:03:02 AM
They dont interact anymore w each other from yur video posts, why is tat so, if it is because of new software in pleos then no point having more than 1 pleo.

@ Crewella: Hardly professional :D Windows Movie Maker does all the fancy stuff, I just have to drag and drop the videos in, add titles and chop out parts of the video I don't need :P
@ Grin06: You are quite right, Stitch is on the newest OS which is why he ignores Lilo :( In two hours they only responded to one another twice, and I can't be sure that it wasn't just a coincidence. The 2.0 OS definitely makes having two Pleo's a little redundant although I don't know if it is because Lilo is not updated... I guess there is only one way to find that out...
Lilo's skin is in the best condition, Stitch tends to be taken out more because he has a protective coating on his back (although that has long since worn off :P) when being subjected to lots of pats they always wear clothing. Neither have any major holes or cracks, There are a few very small cracks but they only extend through the paint and no further, you can only see those up close. To be honest I have no idea why they haven't had any, especially Lilo who is a year and a half old. The rubber seems to have stood up very well. I do keep them away from any direct sources of heat including the summer sun and when not in use they are stored in the packing position in a foam box.
Since having Lilo and Stitch I have lived mostly in places with wood floors or very low profile carpeting so I guess that accounts for the lack of wear on their faces, there is nothing for them to rub their noses on really.
They have no teeth wear at all, not a chip is missing, they only chew on their special rubber leaves.
@ Franziska: The batteries are worth the expense, they run so much longer and recharge faster :)
