batteryspace batterys DOA! (they took care of me!)
« on: April 14, 2004, 10:51:11 PM »
2 brand new 9.6v 3000MA batterys from batteryspace delivered today http://batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=375&HS=1 .  Dead!  I'm so pissed (or so studpid... not sure which yet)!  I put them on the charger right away when they showed up.  Both registered full charge.  I built all my cables (for ua5, jb3 and svu-2) plugged it all in and started scratching my head.  Tested all my cables, and did a test on the batterys... both dead.  Do I need to do something to these batterys to make them work the first time?

how do you know the batteries are dead? use a multimeter on them to check voltage?

no multimeter, I used a tester that looks like a screwdriver with a point at the end, an aligator clip out the back and a light in the handle.  The light lit on both the charger lead, and a 9v alkaline.

d'oh! maybe something's messed up inside the packs. Odd you'd get two defective units though... Wonder if they'd cross ship a replacement pair to ya

I sure hope... I've got a show on the 20th... I already wrote an e-mail.  I thought 2 dead ones was strange also, but I can't think of any reason I would be wrong about this.  If mine are dead, the probably had a whole batch, and I'm not the only pissed off hombre.
+T for your instant input!

Hey Matt,
I also ordered the exact same items from Batteryspace and they arrived a couple days ago.  But they screwed up and gave me the wrong charger(a Ni-MH AAA/AA one instead of the RC pack smart charger).   So I have to wait for them to send me another charger.   Haven't had a chance to try out the batteries but hopefully I am not in the same situation.

With as much fluffing they get here, they'd best stay on the right side of the tapirs! ;)
