Hi All-
I've got Renishaw work and tool probes in my Okuma M560. Both probes eat SAFT 14250 Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries in large quantities. Need to put in a new set of batteries every 4-6 weeks. Not a huge expense, but they're not cheap either.
Has anyone tried using rechargeable Li-Ion batteries?
Looks like 3.7v rechargeable 1/2aa 14250 batteries can be purchased with 300-600 mAh capacity, which is significantly lower than the disposables @ 1200 mAh. But with ~500 cycles life...
Maybe a waste of time/effort... Just hate disposable batteries...
