Hi!
I just bought a pack of the LiMH battery cells from eBay to replace my dead
NiCad cells. The replacement came quickly, and was installed within 2
shakes of the proverbial lamb's tail.
Charged it without incident. Plugged it into the camera and POOF went the
fuse. I still have (well, had) the 1.25 amp fuse in there. I've read that
you are supposed to up the fuse capacity, but nowhere can I find a value.
Should it go to the 2.5 ampere model? Maybe the 5 amp replacement? I know
that these cells have a larger capacity, but I am unsure why they would lend
themselves to a higher draw than before.
The cell, FWIW, is showing a full charge if you measure it against the
unfused positive. I am going under the impression that the guts of these
batteries aren't fried since they charged well and it's holding a 10 volt
charge steadily now.
Any insights or explanations would be appreciated!
