| Subject: | Re Re-juvinate a NiCad Battery? |
I had this experience with my Dynon EFIS. I had a major delay in my building project
(like 4 years) and when I got back to it my EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument
System) battery pack was beyond resuscitation. The replacement battery
pack was listed at $125. So I took the shrink wrap off the pack which revealed
4 batteries soldered together with some mini electronic parts (possible diodes?)
included in the wiring. Very carefully, I took the pack apart, examined the
batteries and looked them up on the web. I bought a pack of 6 just incase of
a screw up, used silver solder to put it back together and it works and charges
just fine, Cost w/ shipping about $36.

Good job. I know a guy that did the same for his ELT battery. Easy,
effective, and cheap. My three favorite things.
Cheers,
