[QUOTE="modelhangar, post: 587415, member: 309082"] Morning Huevos While we are still on the dreaded subject of the Mk4. I am pleased to see I am not the only one that gets a charging error. When again I mentioned this to the owner of the company he really did not know what I was going on about and just blamed me for not charging the batteries every couple of weeks. I now do it religiously till I find time to fit a small isolator switch. Never tried the in car charger so can not comment. I now put the unit on charge and monitor it very carefully till it stops and then disconnect. Bit of a pain but it seems to be having the desired effect. I am tending to think mine came with a duff battery anyway as I had trouble with the unit from day one. By the way ringing the company whose label is on the original battery pack gets you know where, they recognised the batteries but must sell them on to be made up into the units for the Lacuna by other companies. If anyone is struggling for batteries and does not want to use another so called genuine pack try a company called Overlander.co.uk. They are a very helpful and stock many different NiMh. Can you guys tell me what the advantages are of the latest software update and version number. I am also running a tech 8600 and would like to put my sky card in the unit but can not find a patch any ideas? I am pretty new to satellite equipment so on a steep learning curve especially like most hobbies this one also has a language and set of acronyms of its own cheers Neil [/QUOTE]
