Re: [IRCA] Batteries in my Supper Radio II OT

Patrick,

The only time I have ever seen anything like that was in Kenwood 
rechargeable handie talkie batteries from the late 70's / early 80's. 
Never with a non rechargeable battery.

In my over 50 years in electronics I have never found that. The batteries are good Duracell. Has this happened to anyone else? With electronics I guess anything is possible. Two batteries were at about 1V, two were nearly dead and the two that reversed polarity were at about 1/2V. Fortunately the radio is fine. I replaced the batteries. This may be more common, but I have never seen it.
