The jumper is on in the unit and all the batteries are in there correct
position. The link for the MFJ-259Z on the W&S site is http://www.wsplc.com/cgi-bin/ss00000...=14&ACTION.y=3 They won't even charge in my Smart charger. They just shut down the charging as if there no good, but they are supposed to be brand new. Just borrowed some 1800mA and these are charging fine in the MFJ-259, so it looks like the problem is with the batteries. I have never experienced this with these type of batteries before only NiCad's. "Barrett" wrote in message ... The 2600 NiMH rechargeable batteries that came with MFJ-259Z are all reading 0 Volts and will not charge in the MFJ-259Z or in my smart charger. I thought that these types of batteries are not effected by discharge memory and yet these seem to be effected by it. Is there anything I can do to get them working again? The unit only arrived yesterday from W&S. Its taken long enough for it to arrive with out having to send it back and wait for a replacement from them. It also showed a nice silver shinny coupling antenna attachment in the picture and it came with what looks like an old bent piece of enamelled copper wire bent into a loop that is soldered to a PL259. A bit disappointing really for the money. "Barrett" wrote in message ... I don't think that my MFJ-259Z is charging properly. Its new and it has been on charge for over 6 hours and all the batteries are still reading 0 Volts. I'm using the PSU that came with it. It works fine from the PSU but doesn't seem to be charging. The switch inside for charging is turned on.. Can some one please advise me how to check it? Thanks |
