there has been a lot of discussion recently about the K1 internal battery pack and possible leaking cells. I have a K1, and have been considering the internal battery pack. I don't have the same level of concern about leaking batteries that i see other elecrafters have.
honestly, i can't remember having a electronic device ruined by a leaking battery since the days, long past, of using zinc carbon and occassional incidents involving non rechargeable alkalines left for dead in the equipment. but i have never had a NiMh leak in storage (charged or discharged), regular 1/10 C charging or fast charging. i am interested in under what conditions they tend to leak. mike AK3F K1 #522 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
