Hey everyone,
Not really sure if anyone can help me here or not but I figured it would be worth a shot. I have a cable certifier from Fluke which is a DSP4000. I purchased it used and it was working just fine. After I had it for a month or two it stopped charging on me and kept saying that the batteries did not have a good enough charge to operate. I purchased a new battery for it and I had the same issue. After a little bit, the other unit did the same thing (the remote end). I purchased new batteries which were the same ones that the unit came with, which were not the original batteries. The batteries I have tried are the HQRP 200 mAH Battery. I have returned them and tried different batteries that they have sent as well and each time I have the same issue. Sometimes I can get them charged up enough so that I can use the certifier while it is plugged in via AC adapter but it doesn't always work that way. The status light on the side of the device always says that the charge is complete so I try them and get the issue that there is not enough charge to make it work. I was thinking that this could be an issue with the unit but for it to happen on both devices (the remote and main unit) I find strange. Has anyone seen anything like this or does anyone have a suggestion? I really don't care if I have to use the AC adapter with them either I just need to be able to use them for a few minutes at a time to get the report that it generates. Please let me know, and thanks for any help anyone can offer.
