[NTLK] eMate Battery Pack

[Smith Woody]

Thermistor refers to the little glass bead connected by two white  
wires.  If this is not connected and functioning I suspect that it  
would act as with the 2x00 series battery packs and assume that no  
rechargeable pack is present.
If instead you are referring to the overheat protection device (wide  
ribbon connectors covered with yellow tape at end opposite the  
connector), its absence whether solder bridged or actually removed and  
replaced with wire should not stop charging.  BUT it is a safety  
device that will help prevent serious melting if the batteries should  
become damaged.
You can use Frank's Testit or Avi's backdrop to monitor temp and charge.
I suspect poor solder joint or battery damaged by overheating.  use  
voltage meter to measure individual and cumulative voltage.
