rfs Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Has anyone found a uk stockist for the NH1 lithium-ion battery (the LIP4-WM) - I would like to pick up a spare but have had no luck with Google etc searches ( and Sonycentres are no help either!) Would like to find an actual shop with some in stock rather than web based if poss. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 try any of the MD online retailers or even something like Amazon or eBay (if you wanted to risk it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 I've just received a Sony LIP-4WM, mail-ordered from a recommended UKSony Spares stockist called SEME (tel 0870 2406354). It was £35 and tookjust a couple of days to arrive. Hope that helps. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that Sony branded stuff was sometimes a wee bit overpriced - £35 isnt too too bad - but wouldnt it be nice to track down a (good) "clone" battery for less than this??!!

AllanH Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 (edited) Can I suggest you have a look at the Maplin Electronics catalogue? (www.maplin.co.uk)Maplin now stock 1350mAh 'gumstick' batteries made by Uniross. They also sell a charger.Catalogue numbers and prices:NiMh battery: N07BU £9.99 Charger: N10BU £14.99Also stocked are a 780mAh Li-ion battery (N08BU, £12.99). Any use for the NH1?Presumably you could get these items from other Uniross stockists worldwide. Edited February 11, 2005 by AllanH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwakrz Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 That Li-ion will not fit in the NH1, the + terminal is on the wrong end. The Sony's have both terminals down one end.Would like to see if its possible to fit it though, a bit of electrically conductive paint might make it connect as long as the battery actually fits in the player, also its alot more capacity than the standard Lip4-wm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So keeping a "spare" isnt thought to be a good idea!! And I'm now thinking seriously about the R10 !!!! The spec says NiMh battery - anyone know if sony are going back to the NW14 gumstick on this new model?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
