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.
