Hi, its me again.
And my next issue is joystick batteries. We have VEX AAA rechargeable batteries and the 8 battery charger, but either the chargers are all bad or the batteries are all bad. They do not charge. The light is red, then eventually the light just dies, never turns green, and even after “charging” for an entire day, no juice whatsoever. So, here are my questions:
-
Is there any way to fix my VEX rechargeable batteries and/or chargers?
-
can I use any AAA battery in the joysticks? I remember reading somewhere that I am only supposed to use VEX batteries, but one of the controllers had Amazon disposable batteries in it and was working fine.
-
If the issue with my VEX batteries system is the batteries themselves, can I use the VEX 8 battery charger to charge non-VEX rechargeable batteries?
-
Any leads on affordable rechargeable AAA batteries and/or battery chargers? I have found some rechargeable batteries that are ok price (still expensive though if the VEX charger ends up not working for them) however, all the battery chargers I have found are outrageously expensive. Granted I haven’t looked extensively because I am limited in where I can buy since it needs to be purchased with school funds.
-
on a previous post I found in my searching there is mention of making an adapter to make some older batteries work… can someone please explain this to me like I am 5?
Thank you!
