AA Batteries for TIGER Tank controller

[STEWART763]

yesterday my new Hen Long TIGER Tank arrived the instructions do seem a bit odd in relation to the batteries for the Controller
and it says in the instructions 8 Batteries mine has 6


I'm not nitt picking just wondering why they don't like DURACELL AA batteries

should I just forget it I don't want to blow some thing on the controller on my new TIGER

Am I asking in the right place

Don't know about the Duracell, but the transmitter pictured in the instructions look like an old 27MHz job, whereas I guess the new one is the modern 2.4GHz. I seem to recall my old crystal transmitters used 8 batteries.

the newer next gen 2.4 ones take the six, all you have there is dated manual and yup the Duracell are not a great fit..so any other AA batts are fine.

Not had any problems with the 6-cell units (I'm using rechargeable). The 8-cell ones are awful if the cells are slightly smaller than whatever they use in China.

[STEWART763]

Well the batteries I have fit just fine and they are DURACELL.
I think that the Maplins ones, will be tight they are in my RC Helicopters
according to the advert it's a brand new TIGER Tank
but like you say the new controller uses 6 batteries

so now I'm happy that some one has answered
