[Repeater-Builder] Genesis series bank charger question
Hey guys, I am back with yet another Motorola Genesis series question. I have acquired a 6 slot bank charger and would like to convert it over to handle NiMH batteries. I have done both my stand alone fast chargers and my MVA, but not the bank charger, but I immagine it shares at least some similarities with the others. I was wondering if anyone would mind offering guidance? Thanks.

Albert, What is the complete model number of your charger? There are several different versions of the multi-charger. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Albert Sent: Sunday, August 10, 2008 4:15 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Genesis series bank charger question Hey guys, I am back with yet another Motorola Genesis series question.

Note that the mod listed in Bob's article was required because of the different thermal response of the NIMH cell chemistry, and the fact that the manufacturer of the particular batteries Bob received used the thermistor intended for NICDs. Different manufacturers may use different thermistors. In some cases no mod may be needed. At one time the local Radio Shack had their hand-held remote IR Thermal readout device for $20. I wish I had purchased one then, but by the time I heard about it they were out of stock. See http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2460852 One of these would making the measurments mentioned in Bob's article very easy. Mike WA6ILQ
