I aquired a Datavue Spark some time ago, which is in immaculate condition and still boots up perfectly. The Ni-Cd battery pack was of course dead, and I kept getting an irritiating "battery nearly dead" message on the screen accompanied by a classical XT bleep even when the unit was running off AC. I therefore decided to rebuild the battery pack, and replaced the original 1200mAh sub-D cells with 2800 mAh ones (Aliexpress, and yes I know ... guessed that even if I got 50% capacity I was still good). The battery pack charges fine, maintains 12V, and can keep the Datavue running for more than an hour ... so far so good. The really irritating thing is, however, that I still get the "battery nearly dead" message accompanied by the beep
Ideas please?
