SabaLeica Posted August 4, 2024 Share #1 Posted August 4, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello friends. I have the motor winder and the motor drive for the r8. The motor drive requires a special rechargeable battery. I have the charger but the battery is old and will not hold a charge. How can I replace the battery? The motor winder also has a battery pack but it appears that it will accept rechargeable “AA” size batteries (6 of them.) Can you confirm this please? Thanks everyone! PS I am in the Chicago area Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregNski Posted August 4, 2024 Share #2 Posted August 4, 2024 You can buy replacement rechargeable batteries for the motor drive, but removing the old batteries and installing the new ones involves some extremely tricky soldering. I eventually gave up on the project and bought another motor drive. They aren't too ridiculously expensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
