small inverter, then all you would need is a 12V battery? That would supply
enough 110V.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

all you would need is an adapter plug.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Excellent John, thanks, yes I would be interested
in what voltage you get after an overhight charge. I will do the
same.</FONT></DIV>

face=Arial>I just took the back off mine. Remove the 4 long Phillips head
screws, they are the recessed ones.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Take the back off, and the battery pack is
easily accessible, it is held in by 4 bolts, and is covered in a plastic
film. This film can be pierced, and the individual battery voltage checked.
If you wanted to try a single cell replacement. </FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Mind you that is not an ideal fix, as in
reality all the batteries should be the same manufacturer, and age
etc.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Does anyone know, how much the battery packs
are, from Dave?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>I am putting mine on charge now, and can let
you know the voltage of the pack when charged, if that is of any use. I
would take the voltage with the unit on, so it will be a loaded
voltage.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial>Let me know.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
