FergusF Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi and a happy new year to all on this forum. I bought a Sony MZ-RH10 mini disk recorder 15 months ago. I only used it to record one to one interviews for my genealogy research. I have not even filled a hi-md disk yet but when I went to charge my battery last week it would not charge. At first it showed the "charging" display and then died and now it says that it is charging but after 24 hours the battery is almost dead. I would let the battery go down when not in use and charged it up before using it again as this is what I read should be done. Is my battery dead? how can this be after so little use? are these batteries easy to get, I live in Limerick, Ireland. The battery is a Sony NH-14WM(A)Thanks in advance,Fergus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 It sounds like a straightforward battery problem. Letting the battery go all the way down before recharging it is the way to get the fullest charge, but each charging cycle is one more notch off the life of the battery. Try getting a replacement NH14WM, either from Sony or on eBay.Doesn't the RH10 have an outboard battery pod? How about using it with that?

I will source a replacement battery.Thanks again,Fergus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curls Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There's someone from Wales selling the NH-14WM for 2.99 and 60p postage - over 400 of them available. Item number 300063883261. If that one has gone, there is a link to his shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
