You tried using 4 separate AA batteries?

gd idea, will find some wire and try that thankyou

So is it working or not? I recommend taking it back if it doesnt.

Not working, yeah I think you're right, I should take it back. tks.

I have post xmas battery hell, please help.

I have a battery block for a device, it takes 4AA

There is a pos and a neg terminal outslde the block

the neg comes in series from one battery only

the pos comes from 3 batteries in series

shouldn't all 4 batteries be connected in series in the block?

when I ammeter test the terminals of the block there is no voltage with batteries in situ, even though they are good batts, and the 3 set and the one set show voltage

thanks

I'm gonna send item Monday here's the question,,,,
if they don't like it can they take the cash out of
my paypal account without asking??

Yes they can. This is called a 'chargeback'.
