Hi,

I just bought a set of 6 AA 1600mAH rechargable batteries together with
one rechar. bat. 9V 150 mAH. I tested if the whole bunch would work
in my cybermaster unit and the radio tower. Well, nothing happens to the
cybermaster. The tower unit is blinking (it's led) but the cybermaster
does not blink at all. I wrote a small program (which was tested with normal
batt. and worked correctly) to check the status of both the tower and
cybermaster.
The tower (although blinking) gives no positive check as well as the
cybermaster unit (not blinking).

Is there anyone who has a solution to this.

Maybe someone had the same problem with the RXC?

Ps. when i use the 6 AA rechar. batt. in my codepilot it works perfectly. The
same holds for the rechar. batt. 9V in for example my monorail. So, i
concluded

I have uesd the everyready renewal batteries in my RCX without problems

that the batteries should be working.
