I was wondering if anyone else builds their own internal batteries for myo arms? We get our individual cells from a local supplier and put them together in either 4.8 or 6 volts packs. This works well for us and with the availability of Ni-MH batteries we are getting good use time out of a small volume package. We are looking for a different charging method for them (currently using a transformer to charge them, relying on the clients to use a timer to ensure no overcharging). I would welcome an e-mail or phone discussion about current methods in other facilities.
