Dang atty fried my battery

[Colonel]

I was dripping my LR 510 on my Riva. Suddenly. The battery stopped working. Little blinks on the LED.

I figured the atty was no good and tried a new atty. Still nothing.

So now I figured I had experienced my first dead battery. Only a little over a month old; but heck, I drip whenever I'm awake on LR. So I might have been a bit hard on it.

Not a huge deal. I have two old Riva batteries and another new one. I'm ok.

But just tonight I put an atty on and one click was all it took. There goes my other new battery. Same as the other.

Enter the light bulb above my coconut. That was the same atty from last time. It wasn't my batteries. It was that F-word-ing atty.

Anybody know what would cause an atty to eat my battery for breakfast?

I would imagine the resister got fried maybe?

And that atty went into the trash can before I blinked.

I heard that 1.5 is hard on ego style batteries. I'd meter that atty out to see what kinda ohm it is showing.

LR attys flow more current.
Some batts can't handle the higher current discharge rates.
Give your LR to a friend w/ a strong PV.

The atty worked fine on my Riva's (750) for weeks. Then it was that one particular atty that killed both batteries. So. Using that very scientific data, I have come to the conclusion thy something happened in that atty that caused it to melt the chip in each battery.

Point being, all my other LR's work fine, and have worked fine for months. So I'm assuming something malfunctioned inside the atty and is causing a massive draw on the battery.

Lol. I would measure the resistance in it, alas, I trashed it.

There is a chance the atty center pin insulator was defective. Causing an intermittent short circuit that may not be detectable w/ ohmeter.

That happened to my favorite Riva 510 battery! I'd had the atty for weeks and after a cleaning and a two day dry, it totally freaked out my battery. The blue light button turned RED and now it's dead.....sob. I've still got 3 more Riva batts but none of them hold a charge like my good old black one did.
