105.0. "use a Lithium battery on KAv30?" by ZYDECO::REDDY () Fri Oct 08 1993 20:31

    
    A customer of ours (Penn State) wants to know if they can change the
    battery on the KAV30 from a NicCad to a Lithium battery.
    
    Thanks,

105.1Battery is Lithium...GOBANG::LEMMERMon Oct 11 1993 12:1115

	Hmmm, strange question:

	The battery is Lithium, not NiCad (there was a NiCad replaceable
	battery on the protos, but this changed when we moved to the
	production version).

	The current battery can not be exchanged to anything, it is soldered
	to the board - the customer would loose warranty and serviceability
	of the module. In addition, the charge circuitry is specific for this
	type of battery, anything different would generate problems with HW
	as well as diagnostics.
