Unknown battery Issue

Flabeo · January 11th, 2008, 19:40

Ok so I have a battery and After a Game I discharged it with a TM discharger. Today I have to get ready for another game and I plug it in my charger and the charger wont even pick it up. Now the worse part is this is the third time and the third battery I've had my other two batteries looked at and the person could not find any problem with out having to really look at them. What could be killing my batteries?

Well the charger is a Prophet Plus. Most of the batteries are unknown the shrink rap or lack there of has no info on it. The only battery with info on it is:
"8.4v 4/5sc 1200mah P Ni-cd battery" I have no clue what the cells brand is.

Nope no Multimeter so I don't know the tension. One of the batteries was only really charged one or twice and after a discharge the charge wont pick it up anymore. with the other batteries I'm not sure about the amount of charges but it seems like it works fine and then after a discharge my charger wont pick it up.

There could be any number of issues, ranging from broken contacts between the batteries to stretched leads. Get these guys the info they have asked for and no doubt they'll be able to help you trouble shoot the problem.

Could you also include;
Where you got the batteries (private sale or otherwise...)
Their history (buddy you got them from says their 2 years old...)
The condition of the batteries (has the shrink wrap been broken, are corners missing, are the wire leads fraying...)
Charging (do you charge them until they are screaming hot)

BTW; Have you tried using someone elses charger??

you could of killed it by discharging it too low.. batteries need a small bit of a charge left over.. or they die completely.
