iRiver Hxxx, Will This Battery Kill?

<< < (2/2)

BigBambi,

THANK-YOU!!  IT WORKS!!  My 120gig 'hot rod' H340 is back in business!!   ;D

What's more, I loaded it with Rockbox 3.0 tonight, so now it's the 'hottest rockin' Rockbox player on the block!!'

I really appreciate yours and Dreamlayer's help with this.  That mislabeled battery had me so shook, I was afraid to trust my own ohmeter!

Talk about nervous.  Here's a funny (or maybe not funny) aside:  After swapping the leads and checking (and double checking) the polarity, I decided to put a little charge on the replacement battery by plugging it into my FRIED H340 (which is sitting on my bench).

I had a phone call, did a few things, came back to the bench and THOUGHT I'd already installed the battery in the GOOD h340.  When I rebooted and saw the player locked in charge mode, I nearly fell on the floor!  What did I do NOW :o  

It took a short while to remember that I'd 'tested' in the old h340 and I nearly wet myself  I'll tell ya, this 'age related memory' thing can be rough  ::)  

I'm calm now!  And the story ends happily.  I even swapped around all the best case parts, so the player even looks new!  

And, Rockbox 3.0 is FANTASTIC.  On my player 3.0 seems to boot up and run much, much faster, than the prior version.  

Lastly, yes, 'BatterGallery's' response was shocking.  When I alerted them, I included the link to the battery FAQ at MisticRiver, so they could see the problem firsthand.  As they said though, "it's too technical" for them.  

Anyway, a BIG thanks, once again.  I'm excited to be back in business!

Congratulations, I'm glad that you are up and running again :)

I'm still shocked about that store - if they don't want to know that they could be killing customers electronics....
