I grabbed my old voltage display and was going to throw it onto my HEX so I can see the state of the battery, while running, but then I remember that it has 2 dip switches to choose the voltage range (4.8, 6, 7.2 or 8.4). But now I can not remember the appropriate settings for the switches for a 6v battery.

S1 | S2| V
ON |ON |4.8v
OFF|ON |6.0v
ON |OFF|7.2v
OFF|OFF|8.4v
On is up when the cable is pointing to the right.
Thanks James
You are 94.2% welcome. 
oh come on now… Why not give hime a little more? how bout 94.2999 %? 
It WAS 94.1999%, but he rounded up. 
Because I had to stay after closing time to tell him!
Sorry about that! 
Well at least the good or bad about the question is, I charged up the 2800mah 6v battery on the hex (the last time it was still blinking green - volt meter said about 6.8v), turn it on with the appropriate settings for 6v and before I even turn the CPU it is down 3 bars on the display. Turn on the CPU/logic side of the SSC-32 and hit the start on the PS2 and a few servos twitch and that is about it and the display is in one of the RED leds… So either something shorting out or maybe battery going dead. I am now recharging again and time to check out all of the wiring!
Thanks again!

Before you pitch the old packs do you have a battery exerciser to try? Some chargers have the ability to do charge and discharge cycles. This should bring NiMH packs that have been sitting around a while back to life… But it could have developed a bad cell too.
Thanks, It appears to be working better now. I think there may have been a minor short that I probably took care of by rechecking the wires. This time after I recharged the battery it went to the top LED which is better, when I run the hex with the 18 HS645s it shows a drop down to the yellow/top red one now…
Will continue back on the thread of converting from Bap28 to Bap40
