Does anyone have a real schematic for these batteries, or know the part number of what James calls the "Q1 Transistor-like thing"? I assume it's just a serial number chip, but I need a part number to buy one so I can rebuild a BTI Type 4 that has a PIC microcontroller where that Q1 device should be. BTW, the BTI Type 4 sticks out the front of the Duo about 1/2" more than a regular battery. I had some suspicions that the larger size was because BTI originally used A cells instead of 4/5 A to save cost or get more capacity, and when I opened it up sure enough - there were popsicle stick spacers in there to keep the 4/5 A cells from rattling around. It looks like there actually is enough room for 10 A cells. Finally, the mythical 2700 mAH Duo battery is in sight! jcastle ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
