The constant discharge and recharge often unconventional still have to prove that the battery pack will stand the test of time . Did the thermistor break due to mechanical vibration or was it electrical are questions which should be investigated to see if the cause could have an influence on other parts of the circuit and not dismissed so lightly – yes granted the diagnosis and subsequent quick fix is commendable and necessary when the occasion arises , but may not be permanent ! Remember the chargers and dampers which failed as they were subject to fatigue , are other components both electrical and mechanical prone to the same fate ? We wish you all our fondest admiration from Ladysmith ( Kwazulu Natal ) in sunny South Africa , Charles and friends . Dear RGET ,
