    Toshiba Tecra A8 - What voltage should the Ni-MH RTC battery be?

    Hi All,

    I've got a old Toshiba Tecra A8 here which refused to boot. Plugging in the charger and turning it on would just blink the charge light on the front of the laptop. Swapped out the RAM and managed to get it to boot but now it seems the RTC battery is dead. It's not using a normal 3.2V CR2023 though, it's using a rechargeable nickel metal hydride battery which I've never encountered before. as a rtc laptop battery And unfortunately, the only writing on it is GDM710000041. Googling that brings up a few replacements, but they seem to be for other Tecras, not the A8 so I'm not sure if there the correct ones or not. They all say 2.4V but that is what this ones reading adding further to my suspicion that this shouldn't be 2.4V

    Does anyone know what voltage the RTC Battery for the Tecra A8 should be? Are RTC batteries from other tecra lines like the A11 or the protege R200 cross compatible?

    Thanks!

      Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
      by Bowline
      My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

      Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

      My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
      The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
      I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

      ASUS X571 no power : battery issue?
      by mkdj
      Hello everyone,

      Mark and model: ASUS X571
      Symptoms: not turning on. There is only the LED battery indicator working. The owner of the laptop told me this problem arrived one week after having changed the battery. He then managed to power on the laptop only once, and then it never powered on again.

      Tests already made:
      - Battery is charging when laptop is plugged in. The LED battery indicator turns white after a couple of hours of charge, indicating that battery is fully charged. However, laptop won't turn on anyway, with or without AC plug.
      - I have removed...

      Vostro 3400 (LA-K033P) won't charge battery, everything else ok
      by techfreak9356
      I bought a Vostro 3400 motherboard (LA-K033P) to upgrade over my damaged Inspiron 5593 (LA-J091P) board. Everything else is ok except for the battery. This battery I am using now is already a replacement one since I disposed of the bloated original one. Back in the Inspiron 5593 motherboard, the battery charges fine and is identified just fine. However, with the upgraded motherboard, suddenly the replacement battery is labeled as "Not a dell battery". When I borrow a similar battery from my colleague (which did not have replacements yet), it is identified and charges just fine.
