There are no plastic contacts I am aware of.
They are plugged in 24/7 but not playing most of the time apart from the
kitchen radio which is on most of the time I'm home. It has the same
problem though.
See screeen as attached image14696.
In the Radio's Extended Settings menu there is a menu about Power that
displays some measurements. One is whether the battery is loading. Don't
remember what other values are there and not sure whether they are
helpful in any way...
Hi
I have four SB Radios. Three have batteries bought with them and one has
one I bought at a later date.
After recently having a new consumer unit fitted, the mains power had to
be turned off for about 1 hour.
Three out of my four radios had stopped working and were dead during
this period. Not
Is plugged in enough ? are they on do they charge then , does the
plug symbol appear when you plug in and reconnect the power supply ,
and i little sound while plugging in ?

At first I thought that maybe the batteries have still a protective
cover on their contacts, but that isn't plausible since you say you can
charge them a little, right?

Eskil, is this information based on your direct examination and
measurement of a stock battery pack sold by Logitech?
I have found conflicting information on where the voltage sense wire
should connect. Some schematics show the connection to the positive
terminal of cell #7, some show to the
People with the Logitech brand battery have reported vmon1=4V and
vmon2=8V, so it does seem that the correct connection point for vmon2 is
the wire between the positive terminal of cell #6 and the negative
terminal of cell #7.

Before buying my battery pack I considered building one myself, and

I bought the original Logitech pack for a quite different reason:
I simply found it very difficult (in Norway) to obtain high quality

Correct. But

And 8 hours sounds like a very respectable life time for a battery, now
