Deals and Great Z Buys / Semsons battery extender $6.99
« on: September 14, 2004, 05:18:40 pm »
I bought this semsons extender which has already been mentioned here before
Semsons Extender with USB
and tried it with my SL-C760. I didn't read all the postings and didn't worry when I used it with 4 1.5V nonrechargable AA-Batteries. First, the Z's Battery-Led started to blink and I couldn't turn the Z on but since then it works immediately in about 3 of 4 times and charges the Z. Moreover it seems possible to avoid the blinking battery-led when I turn on the Z before I turn on the extender.
Could it be that the Z is protected against too high voltages and indicates this by blinking? Do you think that it's dangerous what I'm doing or has Semson already integrated an LED into this extender to keep voltage at about 5V?
I don't have a tool to measure this. Has someone else tried this with 1.5V AAs?
