PartyQ issue and questions....

Okay, I have a PartyQ and initially had an issue with the thermocouple reading different from my Ivation wireless. This issue has been resolved (evidently, it takes almost 2 hours for the two to read within 5 degrees of each other, but starts out 20-25 degree difference).

Okay, here is my "new" issue. Instead of using AA batteries to death, I bought some rechargeable AA.

Wanted something worthwhile so I got Panasonic eneloop pro (BK-3HCCA) 2450 mAh. Fully charged, put in PartyQ and NOTHING!!!

Looked on batteries and it says 1.2v/1.2v min. 2450 mAh (is this an issue?)

Used voltmeter and they each read 1.45v (and they work fine in anything else I use them in)

Put Duracell's in PartyQ and it fired right up. Voltmeter show 1.25-1.35v each.

Is there an issue using rechargeable batteries with a PartyQ??? (Others have said they use them.)

Wanted to go this route, but it now looks like the adapter mod.

Also, is the mod with the newer PartyQ the same as the original? Don't know why it would be different, but then again.........I'M HAVING ISSUES and don't want any new ones, lol.

Any assistance/advice would be appreciated.
 
I have 8 eneloop batteries. Current voltages are: 1.40, 1.40, 1.39, 1.40, 1.39, 1.40, 1.40, 1.40v
I have 4 Duracell batteries. Current voltages are: 1.20, 1.38, 1.22, 1.37v

Randomly put in any four eneloop and NOTHING.
Slide in the Duracell's and it fires right up.

:confused::confused::confused:

Okay, found some cheap BTY 3000 mAh batteries, charged and NOTHING!

Found some old Alpan 600 mAh batteries, charged and it WORKS!

Now I'm dumbfounded..........:mad:
