[Frameworks] SCOOPIC 16 battery recalling (Spain/Europe)

[Dave Tetzlaff]

Making DIY Scoopic battery packs is pretty easy. I made a .pdf:

Original Scoopic packs used NiCad cells, which less run time than the newer NiMH cells, and also have 'the memory effect' which NiMH doesn't. Even if you revel an original pack, you should get NiMH. The thing is, the electronics for charging are slightly different, and the original Scoopic charger may not work so hot with NiMH cells. It's easy though to get a new charger. Scoopic cells are 12v. (I'm assuming here you're talking about the later black body Scoopics, not the old original gray body. Those have different size and voltage batteries.)
