coathanger Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 I recently purchased a n510 and on the back there was a sticker that had a recycle logo along with NiMH and a phone number. Does this mean that I won't screw up my MD player by using a NiMH battery instead of alkaline? There is no mention of proper voltage to power the MD player in the manual, but there is a difference b/w alkaline and NiMH, so I was curious to hear what other's experiences are with rechargeables. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mAjEsTiC Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 heyy there, well IMO i don't think there's anything wrong with using NiMH in that MD unit as opposed to normal alkalines...they do however have a voltage output difference...the alkalines usually pump out about 1.5V as compared with the 1.2V NiMH's pump out but this lower number shouldn't get you worried since they work without a problem when i use the AA attachment cases on all my MD units (i use high capacity NiMH's in all of them)...so it should be fine...

coathanger Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Thanks for your input. I just get paranoid with new gadgets. After only 3 weeks, my MD player has become indispenable. I listen to music and ebooks I convert using text to speech software during my 2.5hrs of commute every day. These MD players/recorders are rather useful and inexpensive devices.

mAjEsTiC Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 i agree with you on this one...i've used MD's since the 94 with my trusty R2 and have been using it ever since...very reliable and flexible medium... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazirker Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 You're fine using rechargable AA batteries. A lot of Sony MD units even come with a Sony recharagable AA. In fact, your unit should be able to charge the battery too, just put in a rechargable, plug the unit it and push the charge button (usually stop.)
