Default nanoburst

Hi,

I have replacement Nano batteries in stock for $35.

Best Regards,

It's not a meteorological phenomenon.

It's what happens when the battery in my Nano logger decided to swell up.

The case of the nano has been deformed for some time, but I thought it was
just sitting in the hot sun on top of the panel causing the case to distort.
A few days ago I heard a sharp 'crack' and noticed I could see daylight
through the nano on top of the panel. It pulled a screw head through a
mounting hole.

When I took the nano apart, the battery was swollen. Into the recycling with
that.

Lucky for me I've just started using the nano to provide GPS data to a Kobo
Mini. The nano works just fine on external power from the power/serial
adapter it came with. I'm running it from a 3C LiPo 1.3Ah battery as used by
RC aircraft. Nominally 11.1 volts, but it is over 12v off the charger and is
still over 12v after 2 days running the nano.
