Re: Problem with Battery Recharging in Lynx-R

If the paper is covering the battery contacts remove it! It's to keep the
battery from shorting out during shipping and blowing the cargo plane up.

| Jim also to be complete, inside the battery there is a small piece of foam
| that goes the length of the battery and there is a brown piece of paper
that

| foam. In addition, there is a brown piece of paper that covers the four
| inside bottom batteries. The two outside batteries have no paper covering
up
| their leads at the bottom. What is this purpose of this paper and foam?
