Rebuilding battery pack for 29C - Question??? - DavCorn - 03-25-2015 01:29 AM
I received a 29C with 3 dead battery packs. The local Batteries Plus only had equivalent batteries rated at 1100mah. They came pre-charged and work well. My question is this:
Can there be problems charging these batteries (1100mah) using the 82041A charger in the calculator?
Thank you...
David

There shouldn't be any problem apart from an increased charging time. Anyway, remember that you should never, ever, connect the charger to the calculator without batteries, or with a defective battery pack. You calculator will be fried.
In fact, I'll recommend you to charge the batteries out of the calculator, using a faster charger (La Crosse / Technoline is a well know and respected brand), but this will require an "easy to open battery pack".
