Hopefully my battery welding days are over. Seems to work ok in the secondary. Looking at the tech specs of these 9V batteries, they have a nice continuous loss of voltage with depletion, hopefully failing in a very predictable manner.
Gilles,
that is some nice pics. call me stupid, but i was never good with electronics. (in terms of volt, amp, etc).
isn't that configuration making the output, 18v? could you explain a bit more? or do you aim to get a longer duration on that? because i have found some batteries on the net, which are supposed to be giving a triple amount of working time. i'll try and find a link and will post it for you.
to be honest, after this thread came up, i sort of liked the idea of having those batteries into my unit. that would have saved me from welding 5 batteries together and puting tape etc.
One question though. is it clear that a 9volt battery will work fine. what i mean is that people have tested them on their megs, as a "save a dive " battery, which would probably mean that it was used only for 3-4 hours at the most, if i am right. has anyone had them for ages on their unit? that isthe guy to ask if the electronics are ok.
Thanks.
