My Nizo has broken down totaly now as before it had just problems but it was still life in it, no life signs at all now. But when i have the batteries in, they get extremly hot, almost to the amount that you burn the hand, i tried other batteries to, they also get warm as hell :twisted: .
Anybody know why the batteries get so hot?

Re: Warm Batteries
it is a short somewhere, either in the battery box or somewhere in the camera.stianw wrote:My Nizo has broken down totaly now as before it had just problems but it was still life in it, no life signs at all now.

my nizo 801 did that once and melted a battery box. (I have several extra now, I suggest you keep your eyes open for them too...) on my last shoot, my 801 macro did something similar and melted the little plastic sleeve inside the camera that holds the remote cable. i had to de-meltify it to make it work again, b/c contacts inside were crossing and the camera wouldn't run. it still won't run with the trigger.
i don't know what causes it, but figure it out before you use the camera more or you'll melt something. (i know it won't run now, but with some fiddling it probably will.)
EDIT: by the way, take a look at your battery box around the contact points and make sure they didn't melt or bubble or anything; if that plastic bumps up around the metal, it makes proper contact impossible.

Re: Warm Batteries
Make sure the batteries are inserted in the proper clockwise +,-,+,-,+,- order. OK, pretty obvious, but you never know...stianw wrote:My Nizo has broken down totaly now as before it had just problems but it was still life in it, no life signs at all now.
