I have been using Energizer Lithium E2 AAA cells to power microwatt
telemetry transmitters for a couple of years. These were my choice not only
for their long life, but also because they are suppose to be able to sustain
their voltage in extreme hot and cold temps.
I have run into an issue on several occasions where my transmitters stop
working, and when recovered, the battery is not dead , but instead has a
voltage far above 1.5 volts, sometimes double that. What could be causing
this? I could understand if they went dead because of current draw or
whatever, but this isn't the case.
This problem has mortally damaged several of my transmitters.
I use 5 minute epoxy to attach the battery/transmitter combo, and have
wondered if I have been covering up the battery's vent holes or something
like this.
Can anyone supply me with any ideas on this problem, or suggest an
alternative way around this?
Thanks
