problem exploring further Ive found cell count borderline reliable Beeper circuit function Its cell count actual voltage level Beeper sees matters Charge voltage pack depends variables including charge rate pack temperature cell condition voltage loss charge cord connectors etc Im now recommending using Beeper designed published manufactured up about 30 volts Roughly speaking depending variables above generally represents 1820 cells can easily modify Beeper design two resistor value changes fact can whether use high cell counts affected resistors Rl R2 am recommending changing Ri 1K 33K Radio Shack part 271-1328 Change R2 15K 22K Radio Shack part 271-1339 both changes once will permit proper Beeper operation up 40 volts represents roughly 24 cells depending above Because
