several months ago, i disassembled an 82120A pack with the intent to
replace the cells. naturally, i didn't get back to this project until
after the snow flew, and now can't recall exactly what came from where.
seems there are some extra parts.
i've soldered the new cells in series, and know which end to attach to
the circuit board. this assembly seems to only fit one way into the
case, so no problems there. the extra parts consist of a curved plastic
board about the length and height of the case, and two metal V-shaped
springs. my questions are: where do the board and springs fit in
relation to the batteries? are all the batteries supposed to make
contact with the 41 coppery contacts? (i only have the N-cell holder to
compare, and note that each cell is individually sprung). the soldered
battery assembly seems like it may be too stiff to make good even
contact against the 41. comments, suggestions, and especially pictures would be much appreciated.
thanks,
bill
