If you have an old battery case for the MZ N10 you can "Modify" it so it works for the NH1.

All you have to do is to remove that silver protruding screw whic holds the unit tightly into the older N10 unit.

The bottom connector is identical for the NZ N10 and the NH1 -- and what's even better is that there is also a slot on the external battery case where you can plug in a DC supply for recharging etc.

Be careful if you want to use the battery case for the N10 as well as you can break it easily while trying to get the screw out -- it's easier just to hacksaw it off.

Also don't shake the connection too much as unlike the N10 it won't be rigidly bound to the unit.

I've found quite a good way is to have some elastic bands holding the unit to the battery case -- works fine.

I was lucky to have a spare case to play with -- be careful if you still want to use the case with an N10.

Thanks Kyle. How easy is this mod? Could we possibly have some pictures, please? This is a major development, as the NH1 was always at a huge disadvantage for external powering. It may even persuade me to pick up an NH1 cheap (while I still can), if I can find an N10 case..

I'll take a pic once I've got the camera ready

Battery pack is EBP-N10

Just hacksaw off the little protruding screw --this won't stop it being used either on the N10 --but of course it won't be solidly attached to the unit unless you do the elastic band trick.

Works fine with AA or even re-chargeable batteries. (actually you only put ONE in the case).

External Power supply is 6V so same electrics as the N1.

are you serious? i have some questions:

1. Does the AA attachment work for sure?

2. Does the nh1 charge with the external battery case?

cheers

For the battery case to charge the NH1 it would have to be higher voltage and amperage. It will augment the NH1 battery and with the two you will get increased usage, but it won't charge by itself.
