Can you tell us more about the "supercap"? What is the part called and does anyone know where these can be purchased? How long does the memory last as compared with a more traditional battery? Thanks! rcs On Sun, Mar 17, 2024 at 2:52 AM Brian White wrote: > It should definitely at least be op

I'm not asking why replace the old battery. I'm asking why use a cap if it will have the same disadvantages plus an extra disadvantage of only delivering a fraction of the run time? I replace all mine with new nimh batteries. I could see dropping to a few hours or days of sleep time if you gain t

IMHO you should check them for correct voltage and replace them as necessary. If allowed to discharge, they may corrode and damage the PCB. I think the feeling around here is that the correct supercap may be better than the nicad battery, as well as the fact that the nicads are getting hard to find

My two cents worthŠ. In terms of supercaps it depends on the type. If they are electrolytic supercaps then they have a lifetime of about 10-20 years, the same as NiCds, depending of course on how they are used. If they are abused thermally or electrically then they have to be derated and their l

I have some 10+ Model Ts, 100, 102 ,200 ,O.M-10 ,N.8201. But so far, I have never changed the NiCd (?) battery in any of my machines. Now, should I be worried? Most of the machines I have are simply in storage. (cold & dry) Typically, I launch 1 or 2 machines (always the same ones) maybe once
