I am just trying to clarify as I have been told several different things which are different, one person told me to remove a diode, another told me to remove a resister, now you are saying keep the Resister then add a diode between the Resister and the Battery?

Can I replace this NiCad with a 3V Lithium? I have heard yes but also need to remove a diod so that the Lithium does not try and take a charge. I just picked up a SX 240 and it is perfect even the NiCad loooks ok but I do not want to leave it in there. The DX7 has some nice step by step pics for Battery replacement, I was hoping there was one for the SX240? > >>>>> > >>>>> Thanks! > >>>>> > >>>>> Jason > >>>>> > >>>>> > >>>>> > >>>>> ------------------------------------ > >>>>> > >>>>> Yahoo!
