koassilator 2s won't work with eneloops (ni-mh-batteries)

Post by klaasklever »

...but the specifications say, it works. the device works around two times fine with them, then i can't switch it on anymore. alkaline batteries are not making any problems.

my eneloops have 1900 mAh, other rechargables with 2300mAh hat the same problem.

Does anyone knows more or shares this problem?

Thx for any help,

kk

i use eneloops, too. i have tons of them because i also use them with my kross and xl+. i never had any problems.

there is an option at the Utilities menu to change the battery type from alkaline to ni-mh.

i switched the menu option to ni-mh, it didn't help... perhaps my 2s has a problem...
which capacity do your eneloops have

i use the 1900mAH type, too. this might sound like a stupid question, but have you tried those batteries in similar devices? i just want to eliminate that possibility that one or both batteries are old/defective.

thx again,

i tried it again and it worked. possible explaination: i have some damaged eneloops here, although they are not very old - 8 pieces or so. what made my cross testing senseless :)

so it is like expected - nimh batteries are usable similar to alkalines. and even korg told me that in an veeeery late response to my question in this case after 3 weeks.

so everything is fine.

greetings!
