Hello Tae and the other TP600-Users,
concerning the sudden death of TP600E-Batteries (you are not the only one) we
established two webpages with research information.
The battery issue is really a "black item" concerning TP600's....
You can check the following webpages:
http://www.durm.org (and then click on the link "TP600E...")
and
http://www3.sympatico.ca/milnoc (and then also click on the link "TP600....")
On the 2nd page you will find pictures of an opened TP600-Battery (not the
Ultraslimbay one)
Everybody owning a TP600(E/X) is invited to submit his informations to Francois who
is the owner of this page and collects all the informations about the TP600's and
their batteries (+sudden death of batteries)
best regards,
73s,
Oliver (DL3SDW)
