Topic: New lithium ion pack seems dead

[manamana]

I got one of these in the mail yesterday:

But it won't charge - I left the charger on overnight. I get no LEDs turning on, nothing from either output port...

I checked and the charger is sending 16.8V...

It seems like I have a dead one, but I need this for monday night. does anyone know of a chain store that sells something that can power a V3? wallmart type battery? how many aH of 9v do I need to power a V3 for a few hours?

if you need it fast i am pretty sure radio shack has the 9v lion batteries, but they charge an outrageous price..something like $90

you would be better off getting on of off ebay for under $40...here is a link

fully charged these 4500mAh 9v lion batteries can power a V3 for 3-4hours. I carry two of these to most shows, but usually only use one and the other is backup.

Don't really have time to get anything shipped, show is tomorrow.

I picked up a 6v alkaline lantern battery, which google tells me should be 10Ah+

Anybody ever used one of these with a V3?
