burnsie17 Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) Hello everyone, excuse the newbie but i saw mention of an 1850 mAh Mashi Maro gumstick battery and was wondering:1. If i can use it w/ my NH900.2. If the charging time increases and whether or not the MD unit automatically stops after an allotted amount of time or stops when the battery is fully charged.(I was going to purchase the NH-14WM and was also wonderig the same thing about that)3. Where can i get them cuz i googled them and searched the forum and can't find anything.Thanks very much in advance, i have done a lot of research on this site and find everyone to be very helpful, which is why i joined Edited February 21, 2005 by burnsie17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Welcome to the forums indeed. Yes, it is compatible with the NH900, and yes, it will increase the time necessary for charging. You may want to look into an external charger, which is a much safer route. I sorta explain why in this post:http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=7423 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsie17 Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 ok, so i bought it(couldn't resist) and i read your thread kurisu(thanks to u and Ishiyoshi btw) but i'm still not sure whether the MD will charge it to full. You said in your thread that it might get hot while charging and if gets too hot obviously i will have to look for a charger but would rather not if i don't have to. You also stated that you need to check the charging time to make sure it charged: How do you know what the charging time is and/or if it is fully charged or not?

NtN Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 www.bargaining4all.comGet them there - i got mine from there... it took about 2 weeks to arrive from China by post though but it's also cheap... i got mine for £11 incl. deliveryCharging times - ummmm all i have to say is dont use the charging cradle... on my nh900 it just continues to charge and charge (longest i've seen is about 12hours)... and is probably damaging the battery in some way. The normal charging method by plugging the adapter directly into the NH900 and pressing the stop button for me took about 4hrs. Also do not be worried because your hi-md says 2bars left or something. I was listening for about four-5 hours (constant track changing, fidding etc.) and the battery went down to 2bars.. but it remained on 2 bars for the next 3-4 days in which i listened about 8 hours. This is on Hi-LP by the way.. and also take into account that i was changing discs, tracks, volume, fiddling around (cos i can't help it) - and that it was over a few days. - I still plan to do a test where i just leave it running once fully charged to find out how long exactly i can get out of it.. but i always want to listen to my hi-md so it just keeps getting put off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnsie17 Posted February 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Thanx NTN yeah i wasn't sure if, because the battery is 1750mAh, the unit would charge it for the same amount of time as a normal battery(therefore not be fully charged) or charge for longer, which is what it sounds like it does.Also, it's nice to hear you're pleased with it, being that it's coming all the way from China and all .
