gbrunsdon Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 well its a great very small unit but the battery life isnt all that great! So wondered - are there alternative better batteries to buy to replace the LIP-4WM?And does anyone know if you can get an external charger to use with this size of battery - as this would be very helpful at work/advice would be much appreciated...Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an0nym0usmuse Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 well its a great very small unit but the battery life isnt all that great! So wondered - are there alternative better batteries to buy to replace the LIP-4WM?You're right about the battery life... fairly good, but not great.I'm thinking of getting the APC UPB10 Mobile Power Pack... it's an external lithium polymer battery that provides a charge via USB. I think it would work with the RH1. It's got excellent reviews on Amazon.com, and it's at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baturjan Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I recently bought the JboxMini from Macally. I looked at the APC UPB10, but the JboxMini had a smaller form factor. It's smaller than my M200. I bought it to record a week long conference. http://www.macally.com/en/Product/ArticleS...sp?ArticleID=33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sanyo Eneloop , has a new 2 AA USB pack that will work as well , I was looking at it 30 minutes ago , and it states that it will power the PSP , so it will also Power the RH1 using a standard USB cable , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
