my bishop battery was toast in less than 50 hours of use. I still have to send it back, my bishop wand just took a shit too. Not sure about the repair process, but bishop does repairs I think.
The only place I could find the B charged was Nordic Tattoo in Finland but it got to my door in 4 days paired with the packer! With that said im currently teaching myself so I can't compare shit lol
@@Cjmm007 Yeah man. I'm in Rhode Island, I ordered it 2 Mondays ago. By Wednesday it was in NYC, Boston on Thurs and arrived on Fri even though they said it would arrive 3 days later than that. Not to mention I actually got it even cheaper than here. $820 total for both the Wand Packer plus B charged battery combo
I find it super annoying I can't disable kick start on my critical connect for the price of these you think they would have that feature I hope they could add it one day with a firmware update since these have bluetooth now the kick start is too much for the neuma 4 machine it makes it sound horrible and spit ink from the little boost
I really doubt the b charged v2 will get the pedal I don't think that battery has bluetooth or they would advertise it as having it I honestly think they will discontinue the b charged v2 it has not come back in stock since they second batch months ago
Shorty is a good battery but I would recommend to try it before you invest - it also have kick start on connect version which might not work for some. As alternative Inkclaw have light weight and budget friendly options
Personally very good experience in ordering and customer service. Only thing I don't dig is if they don't have something in stock then it's put on back order and you get charged full amount and then invoice with actual amount but that usually with minor things and more of accountancy issue. Otherwise all good and I am fine with selection of products
I just got my bishop battery and i feel like it runs higher than my critical batteries. At 8 volts the two critical batteries seem to run at a lower frequency than the bishop b charged. Has anyone else noticed this? Did i get a dud from bishop?
Though this is quite old. I am experiencing exactly the same issue. I can run my wand packer with 5.5 on critical but I need to set it up to about 6.5 when using the V2.
It takes time to develop products especially to bishops standards it has to kick ass out the gate. I like that they aren't ostracized people who prefer other accessories. Fuck apples motto

That's unlucky

Finland to USA?
I always see they have so many items in stock while others don’t but haven’t attempted overseas buying before

@@Cjmm007 Just a quick heads up I tried to pay from my bank account and it was denied but went right through with PayPal instead

There's still option with combinations of buttons to press available it would be great if it would be optional

Considering that they have power wand now it might be true
Have a few critical batteries. I noticed pretty quickly cracks forming on the plastic. Any one else have this issue?
Mine look the same as when I unpacked them
It’s so odd. All 4 of my batteries have small vertical cracks on the plastic casing. They still work perfectly though. Thanks for the reply!
Can you use just a regular critical battery on a bishop power wand
With adapter - yes
can i use cheap batterys too?
You can - at your own risks. Haven't heard that anything have ever happened to anyone but still at your own risk
@@TattooShopTalk thank you for your answer! gr carlito ,like your vids too.
Is there quite a height difference between the V2 and the Shorty?
Height of Shorty is 37mm and V2 is 49mm plus RCA connection
I have a critical shorty battery and can only seem to get 3-3.5 hours out of it at 7 volts.
what do you think? Do you recommend this battery for my bishop fantom? the company says it's 5 hours each
@@cesarrodriguez2008 yeah it seems to work pretty good with my bishop packer wand
I want a baterry for my bishop fantom which one do you recommend ? the shorty one lasts 5 hours or 4? but the big one is too heavy for this machine?
Shorty is a good battery but I would recommend to try it before you invest - it also have kick start on connect version which might not work for some. As alternative Inkclaw have light weight and budget friendly options
@@TattooShopTalk the battery life is 5 hours? some people say that they only use it for 3.5 hours is too little
It depends on voltage you are using and machine and variables but 5h is wishful thinking ... 3-4h realistically
I’ve heard a lot of bad things about barber DTS, wich is preventing me from buying the battery pack. How is your experience with barber DTS?

Damn a pedal for the bishop battery would be really nice!
I guess critical brand is the future
Great review！Thanks

@@Alexandra0916_a so u get the opposite
Which is better the v2 bishop or critical?
@@cesarrodriguez2008 critical.’plus the warranty is good and free. Bishop would charge u.. not much but still something
If the bishop battery was good thwy would create their own wireless machine and not work with critical..
Just guessing but maybe they have enough products to care about

Why compare,both are very good.
Because they are same same but different
