Sony 7600gr newbie questions
Ron Hardin wrote: The 7600GR, if you just leave it around for a month or so running its clock, will badly wobble the weakest cell, which will be reverse-charged by the stronger cells, if you use rechargeables (which everybody does). Replace the batteries very regularly even if you don't play it. I can generally revive the weakest cell using an old charger to start it off, and then cycling it in a modern charger a few times, but it would be better not to let the other cells get to it at all. It's not a matter of running the voltage down to .6V, but that by that time, the weakest cell is already charged backwards by the others. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. Actually, both issues are something to worry about. The radio is designed for alkaline cells AND to use them to retain memory settings. This scheme works fine, but will overdischarge secondary cells. |
