Default RE: Picture Tutorial: Swapping out your 10X / 12X batteries

If you can't charge your battery pack through the charging jack, it's because that little green diode looking thing is blown. 2 choices, either replace it, or if you PROMISE to never reverse the polarity when charging, just put a solid pice of wire across there and forget the diode. WARNING: The world could come to an end if you do this....at the very least you may void the warranty on your battery pack and/or radio.

Hi Chad..Can i check with you: are you saying if the green diode turns brown colour it means I cannot charge thru the charging jack?

Is it safe to put a solid pice of wire across there and forget the diode??

Also, the 12X battery does comes with a piece of white stuff. Is that a themostat/ sensor? There is a “white” colour strip. I was told this is a thermostat? Anyone can confirm?[/B][/I]
