Embio Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hey guys, I just bought this 1400Mah Sanyo "HF-A1U" from a place in Perth, Australia. Cost me around 6 pounds - the man who served me said that it is the NH-14WM with a different covering - what do you guys think? If it is, I am very happy at saving a tenner!

Roamer Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 There are actually several vendors for this type of battery : Sony, Sharp, GPPower, Uniross to name a few ...Which gives more options to find a good deal ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embio Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 well I'll let you know if this thing is any good if you like. I got a 1350Mah NH14WM with my CD player, but got fed up of switching the batterys all the time. is it the same battery as the one sony are selling do you think?

One of Sanyo's major strengths is rechargeable batteries (and solar technology, and...and...) and they have been sold under different names, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Sony source from them. All in all, they make the best rechargeables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Sony NiMH AAs are OEM'd from Sanyo as well. As are Energizer NiMH AA batteries. As tekroid said, Sanyo is one of the best battery manufacturers out there.Sony pretty much started the use of Li-Ion for consumer products and for Li-Ions, they would still manufacture their own, but for NiMH I think they outsource that probably primarily to Sanyo.
