dogville Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Do you think sony will release a more powerful battery for the rh-1?. I'm sorry but the one in the rh-1 is not as good as I thought.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roamer Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Doubtfull. This battery has existed for several years and different units without any changes.But it's possible to use an external power supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrac3 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Dogville, do you think that it is not enough powrful?I have registered the Puccini "Butterfly" without problem and this Opera is more that 2 hours of music...An easy solution is that to buy another battery unit and to fit it in MD's bag for every evenience :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozpeter Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 External usb battery box is due to arrive here tomorrow... I'll report on how long it records for with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandoRod Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ozpeter -- Are you refering to the same "USB external battery box" that MDfreak was talking about in this thread: MZ-RH1 DIY battery-pack? If so, is that item available to others? Please tell us more! -- MandoRod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 http://www.mrgadget.com.au/catalog/usb-dev...ight-p-571.html is the one I'm trying though with a fair lack of success so far.... watch this space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrain Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 i have this onehttp://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/you have to make it yourself but it's pretty easy & looks cool. plus it's very small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Hmmm, the one I linked to above upsets the RH-1 - it's putting out 5.76 volts which perhaps is too high. The mobile phone takes no notice of it either. Makes a good 3LED torch....Edit: The MintyBoost link above indicates that not all devices like being charged from a battery pack. Maybe that's the problem. Edited August 23, 2006 by ozpeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 More such devices:http://www.targus.com/hk/product_details.asp?sku=APB04APhttp://www.mdofpc.com/onlinestore/usb-batt...ces-p-9719.html- "usb battery pack" seems to be the best search in google.

smkranz Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 This thread prompted me to look at an external AA battery charger I already own for my Palm T5. It uses exchangeable tips for a multitude of devices, including the Motorola V3 Razr. The charger uses 4 AA batteries and it works great for charging the Palm. The charger unit seems to be the same device, they just supply different tips for each different device it can charge...and you can buy additional tips for other devices you own.Now, I'll just need to order the additional tip for the V3 Razr for another $5 and I'll be set:http://www.gomadic.com/motorola-razr-v3-em...y-extender.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell Letson Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 A data point on portable outboard power for the RH1: Plugged an APC PNoteBX UPB battery box (4 x AAA) into an RH1 with its internal battery almost run down. (After more than 4 hours it still had enough juice to do a save but started displaying the low battery warning when playing.) No effect--as it weren't even there. Swapped out the freshly-charged NiMHs for fresh alkalines, same result. Don't know whether it's a problem with the ACP box or something the RH1 is looking for and not finding--the battery charged fine when its own power supply was on the other end of the USB cable.
