Hi Sandy, Thanks for the suggestion, I have been following your mails about the Standscan and how you said before that the lighting was better and brighter if it was plugged in than with the 9 Volt battery.
I must say that to me that indicates a design flaw in some form or shape as there are so many awesome LED lights available these days which require very little power. I sell Petzl headlamps at my store which run on 2 Triple A batteries and put out 65 Lumins and while I am not an electronics guy to me it just doesn't make sense that these LED's can't be just as bright with a 9 Volt battery as they are with 12 Volts. Also, when they talk about "pencil" cells, I sure hope they are not those super expensive little batteries where you end up spending $30 to buy the batteries for that 12 Volt battery holder. I forgot to ask them last time which exact batteries are required, if you know, maybe you could post the battery designation.

Hi, i am delighted to see people's interest in the StandScan Pro, however, after having had one for a month now and experimenting with it, also, comparing it with the ScanBox, I must say that the major difference between the two is the potential power of the lighting that comes with each unit. The ScanBox only has a 9 volt battery, whereas, the StandScan can be souped up to 12 volts by using either the mains cable with transformer or by using the 12 volt battery case which you have to order as an add-on. I made a mistake when I ordered my unit and didn't buy the extra battery case and so can only get 12 volts of lighting when plugged into the mains. I am going to order the 12 volt battery case today whichshould give me the extra umph that I would need when on the go. I cannot stress enough the importance of this extra power. Visually, when you compare the 9 with the 12 volt lighting, the difference is dramatic and only the 12 volt lighting will provide an absolutely reliable scan regardless of all other factors. When the ambient lighting is good, you could even use the box with no lights, of course, but as we are looking for something that is going to render reliable results in all situations, we definitely need the 12 volts. So, for anyone considering buying the StandScan Pro, can I suggest that you buy the extra backup battery holder that takes several pencil batteries, I think you will find it worth the extra few bucks. Happy scanning, Sandy. Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
