Power Macintosh 4400/200: no graphics

Hi!

The "battery pack" I had to make with 3  1.5V batteries apparently started to leak (at least it is completely corroded at the connections)! No idea why! Good thing I put it in a small plastic bag, no damage.

I just made another one. The total voltage should be 4.5 of course, but I get 4.8V (maybe a bit less). Sorry for the very basic question, but is this ok? Most probably yes, but I don't want to do anything bad. 😉

Thanks

Nicolas

It's fine. As they're brand new, and you're measuring on a voltmeter (So there's no load on the batteries), it's natural you'll see a few millivolts over 🙂
