Which rechargeable batteries did you use in the Tekkeon mp1550? Were they nimh? The mp1550 won’t charge nicad batteries. Perhaps you might have done something else wrong, or there was a problem with your batteries? The Tekkeon mp1550 manual also states that the batteries should be completely depleted before charging them in the device.
I was using NiMH 2000 mAH rechargeable. The batteries were run down until my fuze wouldn’t charge. The tekkeon popped while trying to use it to charge. It never got hot. It flashed red indicating it wouldn’t charge the batteries. And it just wouldn’t light up anymore or charge my fuze. I did do my due diligence and put a different set of recharged batteries in the tekkeon. No green lights. JK98, if yours hasn’t popped yet, keep it safe. I believe they made a bad batch of units. The bad reviews for the tekkeon 1550 start to concentrate in June 2010 and extends to today on Amazon and the product came out over a year ago…
