I've looked at the 3-pin connector. Pin 1 is
at the bottom, and is connected to ground. Pin
3 looks like it is the positive connection for
rechargables, separate from the pos conn for std
batteries. I can't see where pin 2 goes.
Would someone with the rechargable battery pack
like to check it and report what's connected to
the 3 pins? Also, is any connection made to the
2 spring battery connectors that remain in the
battery compartment after removing the insert.
I could be flippant and say that pin 1 connects to a black wire, pin 2 connects to a white wire, and pin 3 connects to red wire, and all three disappear under the black plastic which encapsulates the rechargeable cells.
I don't particularly want to dissect my battery pack.
There is no connection to the left over springs when using the rechargeable pack. My guess is that the middle white wire connects between cells 2 and 3. Something like:
black ---- |+ |+ white |+ |+ --- red
But that's just a guess.
The trick may well be that the power is coming in via the connector rather than the spring connections.
