blew out my zz....

Post by ziprc »

erk.....my 3rd zz. tried some weird stuff and i overcharged and killed it. see cuz i made a standalone, and i wanted to test if it would work. i dindt finish my dual cell yet, so i put my single on it, and wahddya know, 2 of the copper wires (im assuming the forward ones, since that's the direction i tried before it fried) are now BLACK. it's like marvins magic drawing board. gold to black! woppeee. now i have an excuse to get a new zz and go to RS for some supplies. oh well, at least i know my charger puts out alot. it's just the zz charger base directly connected to the zz AAA battery compartemnt.

Sorry to hear about your loss, but cool you got the RX-8. I just grabbed me a 350z tonight.

I hafta say. It seems like the #1 cause of bit death is overcharging. Be careful guys, and don't drink and drive. :grin:

well it wasnt really the chargers fault. i realized somethign might be wrong with my batt. circuitry, so i undid the soldering and the second solder process popped them. BUT...just like last time i picked up a gold civic off a friend, mint for 8 dollas, 2 homies clowns (the one in the stripes and the scary teeth), and 2 regular homies (girl with hair in the front pointed up and the guy with hands in pockets). GOOD DAY LADIES AND GENTS!
