It could be more of a problem -- How are you going to fill the compartment(s)? the batteries are a very close fit. If you inject the grease first, you will undoubtedly coat the terminals the battery must be in contact with. the grease is an insulator, so it's possible that the battery will be unable to deliver power to the unit. If not the first time, then after you change batteries, certainly so..... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
