Yes - I'd heard that...and to finish the story, Lead/Acid batteries (such as car and motorcycle batteries) should NEVER be run completely flat as it's very bad for them...completely the opposite of NiCads which should always be run flat.

A couple weeks back I posted a pretty critical but not mean-spirited (IMHO) critique of the mall tour as it passed near me (reference message Dear Lego n=2518). I was then contacted by Jeff Ardis the tour manager by e-mail. He stated that indeed (...)

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 (...) (25 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)

If the external power is on the relay is on and the Scout/RCX gets it's power from the external power. If the external power is off (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
