HC-2 and HC-2b revision 2.09 released
G8B4Life:
Thanks Jacob. I had been particularly wondering how the HC would handle the charging of the new batteries as each of the new batteries could have had a significantly different charge right out of the packet. Looks like that might not a problem for the HC.

TwinStar:
I replaced the batteries in my second HC-2 today and removed 1500 mAh batteries. Now, I bought this unit second hand off a guy who had bought an estate sale. I THINK they're the original batteries but I cannot be certain. Same as before, this unit fired up and performed flawlessly with no lost data.
G8B4Life:
That's a good outcome. Two for two. At 1500 mAH I'd hope those batteries were not the originals but ones the previous owner had put in, the run time would be shorter by a fair margin with that low capacity.
Now just to wait and see what Bill receives when he gets his gets back.

last winter I tried to fire up my HC-2b which had been sitting for months. black screen, and it wouldn't take a charge. I didn't search to find the toothpick-for-an-hour trick. I opened up the HC, removed the batteries (sorry, I didn't note the MAH capacity) and put them into a NiMH charger for a couple of hours. put them back in the HC and it fired right up. now I make sure I charge it every now and then when it's not being used (like most of the summer while there is yard and garden work to do!)
JRad:
I have a question on determining the software version currently installed in an HC-2b.
I have two HC-2b-SUN controllers. One belongs to a friend who loaned it to me for evaluation of RP and a second that I recently purchased.
The older unit (my friend's) under Adjust Settings listed the version as 2.09 BEFORE the update. I went ahead and installed the latest 2.09 update and it loaded with no issue. Still reads as 2.09.
My unit, about a year newer, reads program version 2.21!! Both units have the same Program numbers SW1045 on that screen to the left of the version number.
I'm hesitant to load 2.09 on my HC-2b. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
