HP41 Rechargable Battery Pack Repair Solution Message #1 Posted by Eric on 23 Aug 2002, 4:32 p.m. I spent 15 minutes at Batteries Plus. The total was $12 (the 'N' cells alone cost an additional $8) and the rechargable battery pack works as good as new. They used a 1/3AAA 500maH replacement Sorry, but the $60 for the guy in Florida to fix it doesn't cut it.

Perhaps 50maH. There is a 150 maH NiMH cell (Sanyo) that is the same diameter as the original Nicads, but a little shorter. The string needs to be backed up with a piece of plywood, etc.

Perhaps 50maH." I'm not an expert, but that is what he told me. He specifically differentiated between 50maH and 500mah. regards.

Re: HP41 Rechargable Battery Pack Repair Solution Message #4 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 25 Aug 2002, 8:04 a.m., in response to message #2 by David Smith Hi; I have a rechargeable batt pack for the HP41 that is disassembled and has no batteries. I though about many solutions, and all of them would result in cutting the original battery holder. I will not do that. As you have found a Sanyo NiMh cell that fits in, would you place its specs here for us? If they are readable, of course. I'll try to find it here (but I am almost sure it will be about impossible...) Thanks.
