[dkonrai]

i found this tonight on ebay
1PCS 4x AA Battery Holder Box 6V Case DC w/ Clip Switch | eBay
question is if i can use the plug to maybe recharge some 14500? room enough for three? and a vv, with maybe a volt display (trying to figure out how to parallel a switch so i can hit a nc button to check voltage?)

The only practical way I see to run 3 Li-Ions is in parallel with a boost module, but it's kind of risky running removable Li-Ions that way. It's fine once they've been in there a while, but if you screw up and insert a fully charged one with one that's less charged you can have dangerously high current flow. I supposed you could run 3 Li-Ions is series, the buck modules can handle as much as 14V, but charging without removing the cells will be a problem.

Looks like a great one to use for a NiMH pack. You could easily run 3 or 4 MiMH batts in series with a charger connector. There's lots of off-the-shelf pack chargers for that sort of thing and it wouldn't be difficult at all to rig something up.

Hehe, mod the world!

 

[dkonrai]

is this something that happens to just me? or is this a common problem?

 

[CraigHB]

I think it's pretty common in this section of the forum

Yea, hehe, I live in Reno and there's one in Sac, whenever we drive by it, my wife always asks me if I'm feeling the gravitational pull. If you're in NorCal, I bet it's the same one.

This may help... or make things worse...

Don't feel bad, I've crossed over to the darkside myself. Here's a similar box but it has a USB connector if that interests you:

BATTERY HOLDER FOR 4 x AA-CELL (WITH USB CONNECTOR) + SWITCH

Curious if this one is 5V or 6V output?

Sent an inquiry.

Worse definitely worse. Although through reading others symptoms I have come to terms with my own stage 2. And knowing I am not alone is wonderful. THANKS GUMMY
