Thanks to the resources of this group and the FAQ page, I was able to build
and install a new NiMH 15V (actually 14.4v) battery in my control pack 2
today. The Varta 9 volts used to build the new unit came from a local
Batteries Plus store, $9.99 @. The whole procedure went fairly well. OK, I
did have take off some electrical tape after I put too much around the
battery and the case wouldn't fully close the on the first attempt, but hey,
it was Sunday and I had the time. The biggest hassle was setting the mode
switch after re-assembly; it took a little time and some trail and error.
Charging went fine and the MD 2 seems to work as well as ever. The battery
indicator light doesn't work, but it never did even when it was new. Now if
I can find some rubber cement to glue the mode switch cover back down with,
I' ll be back in business.
Thanks,
