Icom CM-8 battery - info needed
Hi,
Could anyone told me something more about Icom CM-8 battery pack, like for example: - voltage - capacity - what is that piece of electronic inside for? - why it does have 13.8V AND wall charger connector. Could it be charged both ways? - why it does have 11 (!?) cells but only (nominal, if I am right?) 8.4V - it seems to have thermal and current protection connected in series with cells (if somebody could confirm this?) - does anybody, maybe, has a schematic diagram of it? (I would like to put 7 x NiCd AA cells inside, and I am not sure if that could be done). Any info is more than appreciated. |

The easiest thing to do is just buy a drop in BP8 replacement kit. - voltage - capacity - what is that piece of electronic inside for? - why it does have 13.8V AND wall charger connector. Could it be charged both ways? yes. There is some limiting circuitry and an LED. - why it does have 11 (!?) cells but only (nominal, if I am right?) 8.4V - it seems to have thermal and current protection connected in series with cells (if somebody could confirm this?) It has a thermal cutout (a little metal can) installed in series with the battery pack. If I remeber correctly, it was just shoved in there and not gluded to the batteries. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
