Wow, my early Christmas present arrived today (Saturday)! Didn't expect it to be here before Monday or Tuesday.
The PCC fits the batteries I ordered with no mods necessary! There seems to be a slot molded into the battery cylinder already. The older batteries fit with a bit of tension on the lid, but seems OK.
I was going to mark this set of batteries so I knew which were the old and which the new - not necessary. The buttons on these are a bit higher than the old ones, I like that
! Also about 2mm shorter.
All of the batteries showed charged immediately or within a few minutes of being plugged into the charger. (510 and 888). That includes the PCC
. Going to leave them all in the chargers for the recommended 6 hours anyway.
The mini-usb cable I keep on the computer for cameras, PDAs, etc. worked just fine with the PCC (it is a standard cable!).
I am, for the moment, confused with the pasthrough. I thought the box in the middle of the cable was for a switch, but not so - the wired battery part has that. It is for a battery! I'm not sure about this yet, but it may be usable without it plugged into the USB. Doesn't say what voltage but a brief trip to the voltmeter shows it to be 4.1V and it is marked 360mAh. ID on it is ICR10440, will have to look that up. The Window Lady will probably carry them, if she doesn't already.
The mini-pipe is CUTE
. Can't wait for the batteries to finish this initial cycle! It does look a lot like the one my Grandmother used
.
The one thing that the Widow Lady does that no one else I have ordered from does is include tip sheets that go beyond the chinglish instruction books and clarify important points and make for more peace of mind and a better / more comfortable experience
.
Thanks MUCH WidowLady, you are simply the best I have dealt with, hands down.
Off to read the instruction manuals and tips sheets again while PATIENTLY awaiting the battery charges
