I am trying to connect the batteries to the HB but after hours of charging
the screen doesn't turn ON.
The batteries are two packs of 4 and I connect the two reds with +ve
and the two blacks with -ve
Is there any case that I connect the wires wrongly (two reds together and
then to the HB) and I need an other sort of connection ?
Do I need to buy a pack of 8 with just two wires?
The batteries are AA 1.2V 0.5Ah (maybe the batteries are not powerful
enough)
The adapter I use to charge them is 12V 300mA
I have an other one 18V 500mA (but I think is too big)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
