jim.hoggarth Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi all. I have been asked by a customer where he could get a new LIP-3WM battery for his Sony MZ-N10. I of course replied: "just look on eBay, you will find what you are looking for". Nope. And I have googled world-wide for LIP-3 and Sony N10 battery, and absolutely nothing like a sales link comes up. Has anyone any idea what has happened to these batteries? Surely they have not disappear off the market totally? Jim, perplexed.oops! That will teach me to work late into the morning. The battery is the LIP-3WMB. That brings them up now, but why did LIP-3WM not fin them as a substring? Think I need to go to bed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Holy cow! What a price these fetch - scarcity value. One reason not to own an N10, I guess. The N910 does most of the same things and uses NiMH gumstick and/or AA-sidecar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frnk_lcc Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Buy LIP-4 battery. First open all the cover of LIP-4. then you can small PCB. just remove the PCB using soldering iron or else. Do the same things with LIP-3 batteries. take the small PCB from LIP-3 and put to LIP-4 battery cell use soldering iron. Then cover you new battery, make sure it won't have electronics shortcuts. You'll have a new long lasting battery. It works on my MZ-N10. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that will be fine for my own own use, but I don't think it will impress customers who purchase renovated N10s from me. So it looks like I am paying a hefty whack for new batteries, or just scrapping perfectly good N10 machines for parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperclip Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'll take any N10's you want to scrap. I love those models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
