Daystate mk3

[duomatic410]

Still no joy on getting into the daystateowners, so might get some joy here.
Have a mk3 twin battery model, nice blueing 177 with chrome air stripper.
R/H walnut thumb hole with adjustable cheek piece.
No batteries but 2 new ones with it.
Would like some information or photos on fixing same to getitup and running. John

I have a Mk4, Mk3 is pretty similar, whats the problem.

My old mk3 had one green battery pack from memory,It failed after a while and wouldn’t charge,but a replacement was easy to obtain.as they should be rechargeable plug battery in and leave on charge with the supplied charger for 24 hours,should be good to go then

Mine has 2, think it's a b2 mk3????????
No key at the moment, no charger either.(on order)
The batteries have to be soldered in, but not 100 percent sure on polarity ??
Do I remove the board to solder,awkward being close to air tube?
Waiting for some concrete advise with hopefully photos to go by.
Have tried Daystate forum but how many ways can you put air rifle backwards for their anti tamper system..
Have given up on it.

I done my mk3 , replaced the two batteries, was a while ago now but if I remember correctly without seeing it I removed the trigger /circuit board assembly, Then opposite sides of batteries I had to cut away and remove the backing to access the soldered joints, I just removed two strips the width of each battery, Desoldered the battery pins , sure there was 3 pins, you can't get them wrong, Its the only way they fit in place, Removed batteries then basically put new batteries back in and re soldered , I then cut two lengths of double sided sticky tape and used them to replace the bits of backing I cut away from the circuit board, leave the backing on outer side of the tape, Other than that , take the trigger/circuit board to a tv repair shop and they will most probs charge you about a tenna, No gun shop around here would touch my mk3 , or do the batteries but I found out later the tv repair shop would have done it for a couple of quid,
Was a while ago so bare with me but it's an easy fix, Maplins used to do the keys, They were a standard fit for some of the cheap battery alarms,

There is two keys also on the auction site,
