Not sure what you mean by 'load' ...Hi David<br />Not sure what you mean by 'load' to pin 5. This is the trigger for the Vo on pins 3 or 4. My understanding was that pins 1 and 2 are interchangeable and so only one or the other need to be connected to the supply voltage. <br /><br />I get very little leakage. After two years, the batteries are still sufficiently charged to for the LEDs.<br /><br />RikGE Rikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825168874175339847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26391908.post-67413629316772826672021-07-10T14:10:55.834+00:002021-07-10T14:10:55.834+00:00I notice you did not connect the +ve voltage to pi...I notice you did not connect the +ve voltage to pins 1 and 2 and the load to pins 4 and 5 as per the giudance for this IC. Did that present any problems?<br />I have connected all pins and there is a low leakage resulting in the LEd not going fully out.<br />DavidAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01906809000710172186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26391908.post-7395094297669488282017-06-12T08:06:19.543+00:002017-06-12T08:06:19.543+00:00Not essential as the protection board will respond...Not essential as the protection board will respond to short circuits.
