AD-S31BT Battery

[MarshMan]

Hi all you nuts!

Just acquired a very nice Sharp 722 in virtually new condition, including it’s remote (very minor marks) plus pouch and instruction manual. Also included was a power supply with Australian plug (!?) and the original dead battery. These batteries are very attractive and well worth owning, but not a lot of good if they’re dead. How do other members overcome this problem please, or should I more accurately say which suppliers do you use please?

p.s. I forgot to say that I found another Sharp U.K. power supply I had, and confirmed the unit works great!

p.p.s. Just realised this is a Sony forum, and I’m a Sharp man

That's ok, it may well have a Sony chipset in it! (I mention my Tascam MDs on occasion, they have Sony chipsets in them so I think we can sneak them past Stephen :-) )

Sorry I can't help with your battery problem, which is what you came for!

Looks like that battery is also used in some digital cameras and looks like you can get replacements from a few places:

https://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk/sbc_rb103247.htm

I've not used either supplier before so probably worth doing some research before placing an order.

Well thanks to both you guys! I’ll be honest BB I’d already found those two, the one that seemed the cheapest added another £7 for postage, so not much advantage. I’ve now taken a chance with this one:

and I will of course report back once I’ve got it, but the way the post is at the moment it won’t be quick.
