[NTLK] Battery

[Noah Leon]

Allow me to scare you a little, Frank.

A year or two ago I acquired a second e-mate. I carefully fixed the hinge
problem (it was on the verge of being punctured, thanks to your site it
lives!) and then I rebuilt the battery pack using normal NiMH batteries
from IKEA. It works great, charges great, but in the middle of the battery
pack where the contacts touch, I used scrunched-up aluminium foil to make
the contact between cells. I think I did something similar on the ends, or
I might have taped the bare wires to the ends of the battery tightly as
well.

The eMate charges fine, and runs fine (for a long time, thanks to the great
batteries), with the thermistor installed as well.

However, after following this thread I think I will try to find a safer
solution.
