Mt Trend Air Shield battery wont hold a charge any more,
Apparently the chargers keep charging as long as the are plugged in, I must confess that I left it on charge a few times and got distracted and forgot about it.:goesred:

A replacement battery is over $100.00, being electricy challenged I thought I would try pulling the battery pack apart.
It was all stuck in with some real sticky glue.

The manual said the batteries are Ni-MH and the voltage is 3 Cell, nominal 3.6V.
Last trip to Alice I went to Jaycar, explained to the bloke what I wanted to do

That was an effort got the last pic up the right way.

Soldered the wires on the battery cradle stuck it in with hot melt glue.

Put it in my helmet and it worked.:thumbs:

Then I got problems with the charger I bought.

I was just going to solder a longer wires onto the lead and use the original jack, but when I looked at the manual, they have two pair of cable connected to the battery.

See Page 14 and 22

What do I do.:sob::sob::sob:
