Step 5

              New batteries preparation

Buy only batteries with the terminals already soldered. If you try to solder them by yourself, probably you will overheat the battery, which will result in a partial or total damage of the battery
Shape the positive terminal of one battery and the negative terminal of the other battery as in the picture. Use cutting pliers or a nail-clipper
Use a small piece of metal (for example from the metal excess from the tabs you cut) and solder a positive and a negative terminals together. Make sure you solder them as in the picture, or you will reverse the polarity

Step 6

              New batteries soldering

Place the new batteries into the circuit board. Pay attention to the polarity!
Solder the batteries from the front side
Glue the batteries to the circuit board and add some tape in the back to prevent short-circuits
Put back the circuit board in the case

Put back the circuit board in the case

Step 7

              Test and assembly

Put the front cover (make sure the charging terminals make proper contact) and try to charge the new batteries. It should start flashing in green color.
If it flashes multiple times fast in orange color, it means that the battery is not detected. Review the connections.
Assembly the device by following steps 3 to 1

Put the front cover (make sure the charging terminals make proper contact) and try to charge the new batteries. It should start flashing in green color.

If it flashes multiple times fast in orange color, it means that the battery is not detected. Review the connections.

Assembly the device by following steps 3 to 1

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Hi Chris. I don’t know the specific solution for that problem. I can only advice to review the whole procedure, check that the soldering makes proper contact and check the polarity. If you have them, check the old batteries to find out if it’s something with the new ones.

To give you and update, after 1.5 years I can say that mine works perfectly with the Eneloop I bought. Good luck!

Hello!

I’m having the same problem…

I think I have connected correctly everything… I have bought the battery in this link: https://www.amazon.es/vhbw-recargable-co…

The orange and green leds are blinking fast….

Did you solve it?

Regards, Sergio.

Everything worked exactly as described. New batteries should have discharge voltage over 1.2V during fast rate discharge to work properly - take a look at the datasheets of the batteries. There are some batteries with fast rate discharge voltage under 1.2V - they wont work.

Original battery pack is double AAA size and rated 2.4V 750 mAh. (2x AAA 1.2V 750mAh). Replace with batteries of 750-800 mAh.

On first contact of the new batteries with the board the LED flashes orange several times and stops. This is to be expected.

I used two GP GP80AAAH batteries - 1.2V 800mAh. They charge and work without any issue.
