The 1.2A Charger provides enough current to charge your lightsaber quickly. It is solely used to charge the batteries while the saber is off. If you wish to leave your lightsaber on for an extended period of time (overnight, days, weeks, etc) then the 0.2A charger will not provide enough power for this type of operation. If your saber is on, it requires more current than the 0.2A Charger is providing and the batteries will be draining instead of charging. The 0.2A Charger provides enough current to charge your batteries in a few hours while your saber is OFF. In other words, kill keys are useless in an Ultrasaber and are a waste of money. Recharge Ports alone however are GREAT investments and add a ton of functionality to your Ultrasaber and are one of our best features as an added option. They are not useful and they actually take functionality away from the saber. I personally highly recommend not getting the kill key. If you would like to be able to turn your lightsaber on while it was plugged in then do not select the kill key option. When the kill key or your charger are plugged into the recharge port the flow of current is completely “killed.” This also means you CANNOT operate your lightsaber while it is plugged into the charger or while the kill key is inserted. However, if you would like to take that constant current draw from nearly non-existent to completely non-existent then a kill key would allow you to do that. This current draw is minimal, especially with the Obsidian USB soundboard, this current draw is nearly non-existent. There is a constant current draw on high powered LEDs and soundboards even when your lightsaber is turned off. You can still remove the batteries from the saber to charge them in a battery charger or you can charge your batteries in your saber through the recharge port without having to remove them.Ī kill key stops the flow of current/power/electricity to your lightsaber. It is a port added to the exterior of the saber that you simply plug our provided charger into. Any saber purchased before was made with a 2.5mm port**Ī recharge port allows you to charge the batteries in your saber without having to remove the batteries. **Any Saber with a recharge port purchased on or after will be made with a 2.1mm port. RECHARGE PORTS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD SETUP.Do NOT select a Recharge Port with Standard Setup.

You can purchase a covertec clip separately from here. You can purchase a covertec wheel separately from here. There is a dropdown box for covertec wheel install in the listing for every saber that does not come with a covertec wheel, just select yes for us to install one and in the comments field of your order specify where on the hilt and what color covertec wheel (silver, black, or gold) and we’ll take care of that for you before the saber ships. If your Ultra Saber doesn’t come standard with a covertec wheel, you can have one added before it ships. The following Ultra Sabers will all come standard with a covertec wheel and one does not have to be added or purchased: Not all Ultra Sabers come standard with a covertec wheel. The blades are removable on ALL Ultrasabers. This is typically done with the blade removed. A covertec wheel is the knob on a lightsaber that allows you to attach the lightsaber to a covertec clip and wear it on your belt.Ī covertec clip is the clip that you wear on your belt that allows you to hang your lightsabers from a covertec wheel for costuming or to just carry your saber in general.
