PTW battery issue... ??
 

Okay, so, I charged them up, but they still set off the LED. What the effing hell is going on? Does the LED go off when the PTW is split, or something?

God damn!

Thanks for yer help/suggestions/backrub.

the led should blink when the batt is conected. Does the gun fire?

The LED should blink once when you have the battery connected and select a fire mode.

If it's blinking about once/second or so, than it's a a problem.

Like I said, when I tested it, I ran it with the M130 and 9.6v, which is the toughest load for the PTW.

Do the batteries hold a charge? The 9.6v when properly charged will sit no-load at about 10.5-11V, the stay steady at 9.6V while under load.

If the battery has been stored depleted for long periods, it may take several charge/discharge cycles before they return to normal. If the battery was left connected in the gun, it may have been totally drained, and recovery may not be possible.

Oh, so this is normal? It blinks once, and disappears from SAFE to SEMI.

Oh man, I feel slightly ridiculous.

Also, the batteries hold a full charge. They've been left half charged since december, though.

Sounds right.

The gun does work, right?

Gun works. Sounds healthier too.
