escribe without a battery

[Tarek91]

HI,

when i connect my triade dna 250 to escribe on windows 8 without using my batteries escribe does not read my mod giving me the not detected message while with batteries it works fine, i just don't want to connect my mod while using the battery as i know this is not good for the mod.  

pls help, thanks

That's weird because i can only connect my paranormal 250c to my Mac when i take out the batteries and it does recognise the board (although no functionality) and i can update and change settings but when i have the batteries in it causes the Mac to crash and it's puzzling me why.
