I dug out my ancient BC200XLT the other day and decided to bring it back from the dead. I have a difficult problem (well, its difficult for me anyway). The battery was a goner so I purchased a replacement pack from Batteries America, soldered it in and charged it for 24 hours using the OEM charger. Now, the scanner will operate fine while plugged into the wall wart but its still dead when I try to run it on the battery.
Here's where it gets weird: I have 7+ volts at the battery terminals. If my newly refurbished battery is putting out the correct voltage, why won't the scanner operate when the current to the radio flows through those same terminals when connected to the AC adapter?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
