testing a Nomad Battery

The battery pack that straps to its back you mean? That's not a rechargeable battery. It's just a container for 6 AAs. You can put in alkaline, rechargeable, whatever. With rechargeables, I'd say 2-3 hours on the high side. That's an estimation though, I've never timed it.

im just talking about the rechargeable pack you could get, i bought one.. that doesnt open. I opened it and threw new batteries in and now i cant get it to charge right. I wish someone could help me out.. i want to get to the bottom of it.. I wish i could get helped by Ben Heck.. he is now my idol!

Thanks for the response anyways bro

I'm guessing it used Ni-Cd batteries? Make sure you replaced them with the same type and that you got the polarities right. I'm afraid I can't be any more help than that. Also, you are correct, Ben Heck is the man.

yeah I very much tried to get the same in batteries. It worked at one point and now wont charge. It might be a waisted mod.. hmm.. anyone know any power faq docs to supplement the power so i can use a different battery or what not? Ben Heck using the sony PSP battery I believe. I would love to look up that skirt and see how its done.. :)
