The replacement adapter arrived today (quite quickly !). New one's on the right. It's a bit more yellow, the older one a bit more orange. The old one's LED is a bit tilted to one side, the new one's LED is mounted fine but the die is off center. Old one draws about 200mA from a set of full, but not hot off the charger, NiMHs, the new one about 180.
So, both would fry quickly off fresh alkalines...which I _thought_ is what they're supposed to use?
The NiMHs are on the edge. A bit hotter than I'd like to run for more than a minute at a time.
Any opinions which I should keep? Try for another with a flush LED and reasonably centered die?
I'm tired of being a thorn in Inretech's side with this order...but I'm not thrilled with either of these. OTOH, I love the amber light, even if I have to use "dead' batteries.
Are my results at all typical?
