Supposed to be a 2000 mAh NiMH.

After 1 year wouldn't hold more than 250 mAh and sometimes wouldn't even turn the radio on!

I bought a new 2000 mAh Eneloop pack from SinCityJets. Figure I could solder the leads to the little e-board in the casette, but the original equipment battery has some kind of transistor in the loop between cells as well.

How do I handle that?


Thanks!

Those are probably discharge protection circuts to prevent total discarge in case you leave your radio on for hours.  You don't need it; just remember to turn off the radio.
