Hello.
I have been bewildered by the short battery life of the 730t.
After some probing, I found that most packs are at the end of their life.
I decided to try and re-build one. I was quite pleased with the outcome.
The packs are nothing more than 6 sub " AA " cells in series. There is also
a thermister in the circuit. The rebuild consists of using an exacto knife
around the seams, carefully cutting until one has two halves, then cutting
the cells from the case and connections. Replacement takes about an hour.
Cells cost around $ 20.00 . The life is nearly 1.5 hours per pack.
Nearly 3 hours run time from both packs is O.K..
