US Spector - batteries getting very hot then failing?

Hi all,

anybody have any ideas about this?  I was playing my Spector (US active with Agi OBP3) when it died quickly.  I replaced the single 9v battery and after about 2-3 minutes, the sound faded, spluttered and died again.  I took out the (new Duracell Industrial) battery and it was very hot - it had only been in the bass a few minutes.  Anybody know what might be causing this?   The bass doesn't have a passive option so it's useless without the active in full working order.  Any ideas are very welcome - especially those that might suggest a fix!  Cheers, Loz

That's annoying !

Sounds like there's a short somewhere, causing the battery to discharge through itself (hence the heating).

I'd have a look at the clip for the battery and the wiring from there to the active circuit to see if there's anything frayed or loose.
