Battery help

Post by TheGeneral »

I'm using a polaroid pdv-0700 battery pack for my n64p only problem is it will not take a charge. originally the green light came on twice but then it stopped going on. when i put the two probes from my multimeter to the metal spring terminals it read 2.9 volts but each of the battery cells read the correct 3.7 volts each. any suggestions??

There's probably a bad set of cells in there somewhere. Can you exchange the battery for another one?
