Motorola BMS Plus WPLN4079BR Li-Ion ?

[RadioSouth]

I'm finding conflicting information on the WPLN4079BR BMS Plus. Some specs show it as needing the WPPN4079BR upgrade kit to make it Li-Ion capable , other not. (I'm guessing the Plus B version is tri-chemistry and the A revision is bi-chem and that upgrade is basically to make the A into a B) ?

Oops put it in the wrong category.

There are 3,700 Google listings for this charger. The Motorola link is here:

The charger requires a modification, covered in the spec sheet, to do Lithium-Ion batteries.

I get that Tom and tried that first but as mentioning there's CONFLICTING information on this charger both on 'M' webpages and 'M' dealers.

When u turn it on. If it shows 9.? On the display during self test it will support Li-on.

No 9 I get backwards 'L''s on two cups then it goes thru segment tests on all cups but nothing that looks lke a ver # Looking on the bottom I see a possible date code of 0044 and I've had it at least 5 yrs. so I'm assuming is a Y2K vintage.

I believe it is after the segment test.

Ive seen 3.x, 4.x and 9.x 3's only did nicad, 4 supported nimh and 9 are tri chem.

Must use the correct adapter.
