Subject: Re: What happened to my batteries ???
From: idc-dragon_at_gmx.de
Date: 2003-09-01

I have an FM here for "repair" which has the same symptom. No mechanical
damage yet, but I had to open the unit (solder joints at PCB) to get the
battery out. It's about 8 mm thick now, normally should be maybe 6 mm.

It has been deeply discharged before, could this be the reason? Maybe it
shrinks again when being charged (externally), but so far I didn't do that
because LiIon charging is difficult and sometimes you read in the paper about
cells exploding or burning up.

Personally I'm glad to have a JBR20 with standard AA size cells.
