Title: Did I kill my Imedions by dropping them?
Post by: MakersMarc on January 14, 2018, 07:51:15 PM
Dumbass me dropped two of my three batteries and the two dropped ones are now just flashing reds. Did I kill them?

Single cell or multiple cells in some kind of battery pack or casing?

If it's a single cell and won't recharge, they might be gone if you're sure they were working properly beforehand.  If they haven't been charged in awhile and the voltage was allowed to go way low, you might need a smart charger to recondition them but even then they might not recondition. 

If it's a pack, dropping might have caused a solder connection to come loose somewhere.  Crack the case and have a look.

He is talking about the MAHA 9.6v rechargeable batteries. I have never brought one back from the blinking light of death.

Yeah sorry for the lack of clarity. I thought I'd brought them back because I got greens for a day but after running 4v>nbox for six hours they are stuck blinking. Just picked up two freshies and some proper holders from BH.

Btw there are some hilarious eBay auctions for Imedions. 1000 for four. Wtf. 11 each at BH.

Marc. I have some extras, I think they are the 1st generation white version but there're still good. You can have them for postage. I think I have 6 of them.

I'll ask some of the local nbox guys. I'm sure someone needs a couple backups.
