Hello, i just re-celled my 2100 battery pack. when i first installed
the pack, i got a cycle, where it would show charging and then charged
then partly charged and then empty and charging again.

i then removed the pack and discovered that the contacts had some glue
on them. i cleaned them and now i get an empty reading and an
indication that the pack is charging, with no problems.

i am worried, as it seems that the pack doesn't seem to be indicating a
progression in the charging process. is that because of the size of the
cells?

i am using sanyo 2300mah cells, with solderting tabs. it was quite hard
to get them in there in one piece.
