The cousin NEC 1802A and 8300 used a capacitor. I still have a 8300 in its box that has NEVER been used, if anyone knows a serious collector.
It is highly probable this may be the ONLY such mint unit in the world at ~30 years old. I still use a bunch of the NEC's as data collectors using programs I first wrote circa 1985 ...and more since then In the field I connect them to a sealed lead acid 6VDC 20 Ah battery which I plug directly into the DC 'port'. They run for days. These little guys tend to be like the TV commercial that stars the pink bunny.

For fit, the original nicd cell is a standard size with two legs soldered in to the motherboard. The replacement nicd or nimh are the same size. The same two legs fit in the same place the same way. And there is no issue of mixing different types in parallel. The internal battery is on it's own charging circuit. It doesn't matter what kinds of batteries you put in the 4xAA external battery compartment. They can be anything. Or were you talking about putting a 3xAA nimh pack in the external battery compartment and then needing a 4th to add to it or something? If you wanted to use a 3cell pack internally in place of the original style, there is no fitting, you just solder the wire leads. You'd have to just stick it somewhere with double sided foam or hot-glue, and there is plenty of room for that. -- bkw On Jun 4, 2017 5:53 PM, "user evers" <[email protected]> wrote: I can't help but wonder if there is not a cordless phone battery pack that might actually fit. I know there are ones that use (3) AAA cells and others that use what appears to be 2/3 "AA". The diameter to work with is 15mm or less. These are all NiMH from what I have looked at. I did order a new CMOS NiMH 3.6vdc pack for $6... I'll do some testing here once it arrives. The idea of putting NiMH or NiCad in parallel is not all that appealing. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Example: Run a tiny asm pgm which configs the background task interrupt to increment a counter once a second; an elapsed-time counter for Power-On - Useful for keeping track of battery perform- ance, for instance. Check out Tracy Allen's "WATCHDOG.BA" which is where I got the idea... Thanks, Tracy! ...
