Here we go again...

So finally everything is said and done and soon hopefully I get my Head back...

So what happened in the mean time:

I ve sent them the battery pack that fried my electronics the first time (only the primary battery box and the electr.) which came from them and was wrongly poled. Back than I thought that they were lost in the trash but they reappeared in a strange coincidence...and so that time I spent 700 smth bucks on the repair...
Plus I ve sent them the two nimh packs I made which are rechargeable and where in the meg when the lights went out as explained before. Allthough they had the nimh packs before and told me that they are fine to use allthough not recommendet due to the voltage drop at the end...

Well the voltage drop didn't concern me that much since I regularly charged them and never experienced a problem...

Anyway long story short, they told me that allthough the nimh packs are good to use I may have used a wrong charger or smth like that and the output was too much and so the nimh pack in battery box 2 (secondary) fried the electronics. Is that possible by the way???
Anyway they said that this is why they do not recommend rechargeables...well this is kind of funny to me since the only reason I can recall from reading all the papers is that they don't recommend them due to the voltage drop...even when they inspected them they didn't warn me that this could happen...

But so it's my responsability and I need to pay...BUT...they do acknoledge that the other pack I ve sent them is from them and responsible for the first "frieing" and so I have the 700 smth bucks I paid back then as credit...and it covers pretty much this times repair...

So I'm almost/kind of ok/happy...

But still can anyone confirm/disconfirm the story of the charger mutating my batteries into electronic killers and/or show me where it says in any manual/hp that this can happen...???

Thanks in advance...

Anyway they also updated my Head to 2.06 for free and I will let you kow how that works...

Now I'm looking fwd to the 15th when I finnally get my head back (in dave I trust)

Warm 2008 regards,
Patrick
