Belay my first pipe - discrepancy in info provided by me. The only Time manual I have is for the later & bigger 6thumbwheel 2003N. PSU info in attachment. I.E. a 15V NiCad. However, I've scrubbed all the crud off this blue battery & its revealed as a 12V "Sintered Rechargeable Battery", 10 cells at 1.2V/cell, obviously. Off load, the PSU(also called a "PU2") puts out 14.9V. So Refugee is spot-on in his judgement.
This'll give me more options for replacement, lithium cell wise. But price will still be a consideration. Must open up the bigger 2003N, because I see I made a note back on 28/6/12 that I'd changed the battery pack.

Regards, David
