Description James Richardson 2009-08-13 08:32:59 UTC

The battery connector used on the PVT build has pins that are too long.  

I am able to reverse the plug 180° then plug the battery in to the connector, with out forcing it, which will cause the baby to short out.  The pins are just long enough that they make contact before the stops are engaged.

Did you have a fix in mind for this, Caleb, before you got moved to DHG?  I suppose I need to find a resource at ABU to look at this issue.

Also, do I remember correctly that reversing the connector does not cause a serious problem?  Or is that wishful thinking on my part?

Comment 3 James Richardson 2009-11-02 08:36:49 UTC

Chris: you are correct, reversing the connector does NOT have any adverse effects on the units.

Comment 4 Caleb Crome 2009-11-02 10:06:21 UTC

So, the Hirose connectors don't short, but the cheaper ones we currently use do short when reversed.  We should probably just switch over to the Hirose connectors.

Moving old Baby bugs to new group.  Most of these are probably so old as to be invalid.

Comment 6 Chris Owens 2010-03-22 08:32:12 UTC

No damage occurs from reversing the connector this way.
