Daystate 8.4v Battery MK3
for ‘RT’ model (2003 to 2006)
This Daystate 8.4v Battery is a replacement for 2003-2006 models of the MK3 RT electronic PCP air rifle. Production of the Daystate Mk 3 started in December 2002 and ended in June 2006. Most models produced use the CDT(b) electronic board, fitted with two, Varta 4.8v 60mAh battery packs. These comprised four 2.2v stacked cells. Additionally, the later-build MK3 models used the CDT(c) board, with this 8.4v plug-in battery.
However, as of November 2024, the four-cell ‘stacked’ batteries are no longer available. However, the MK3 RT model can use the battery in this listing. Instructions to fit it are here.
Note: There are also different replacement batteries (rated 9.6v) for the following models:
- MK3 S
- MK3 ST
- MK3 FT-R (regulated)
So, for these models, use this 9.6v battery.
