I'm going to rebuild my old duo batteries for the 2300c, and while I
can solder and cracking the cases doesn't worry me, I'm not sure
about the following:
i) each pack requires ten 4/5 'A' cells @1.2 volts
ii) I've two apple type III packs, plus one pack without type, but
labeled apple model number M7782 as well as a BTI MCT4 (type 4?). The
listas report good results with the sanyo HR-AUL 2150mAH cell in the
type III packs. If they fit, should they work in the M7782 and BTI
pack?
iii) Mention was made recently regarding 2700 mAH cells (andrew).
Where might these have come from? Not listed at batteriesamerica.com
or Yost (Same outfit?)
I need fresh parts!
