My Dual Cell Won't Charge!
 
Remember my internal dual cell 350Z? Neither do I because it WON'T CHARGE. I have checked all of the joints and insulators. I am running it on 4AA charger and it runs on the charger, but not off of it (after a 1:30 charge). WHAT IS THE FREAKIN PROBLEM?

could have a bad connection, if you didnt do too great of a soldering job it can be hard for the juice to flow through. it will always work on the charger.

oh yeah, OR you could have burned out a battery, i dont know how you would do that, but it could be a problem:(

The same exact problem happened to me, so I know how you feel....

ALWAYS check the charging contacts with a multimeter after doing a dual cell. It's the best way to tell whether you're making good contact or not. Measure immediately after doing the mod. You should see some current, even if the bats are run down. Then charge the bats, on a charger set up for charging dual cells, for 30 seconds and measure again. You should be getting good voltage after a 30 second charge.

YES!!! I FIXED IT! I found out that I had connected the wires wrong. After resoldering them, The car works great! I'm so happy!
