Sure. You're not running excessive currents or high voltages through it, so it should be quite adequate. > Does it matter that I touched both color wires of each one to > the terminals? Hmm, not entirely sure what you mean. As long as there's one wire from + to +, the other from - to -, and none between + and -, this should work, though. > and should I have used electrical tape instead of > scotch tape? The tape may be the problem. Not the kind of tape but whether it actually pushes the exposed wire sufficiently against the contact. Rubber bands may be more reliable. Likewise, wire apparently wound around the Ben's battery terminals can in fact have an air gap. If you can arrange both wires such that they are under light mechanical tension, that may help to make the connection more reliable. > BTW the reading on the battery is 3.9-4V That should be plenty. You can also verify with the voltmeter that the voltage doesn't drop excessively when reaching the Ben's battery terminals. (E.g., because of some problem with the cable or because the battery is unhappy.) - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
