PaulBennett Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Door in my R900 won't stay closed, so I use duct-tape. Lost a battery this way so I bought some metal hydride spares. My Sony CD Player also used gumsticks (2). I carry spares on trips and need to charge them beforehand. Anyone have experience with the gumstick chargers on eBay which are advertised as NiCad chargers? Cuz my sticks are NiMH I'm concerned about the charge rate. The sellers are in Hong Kong. I've bought from them before... the sellers are OK but their English is about as good as my Cantonese on technical issues. Anyone have experience fixing the battery door which won't stay shut? ?? Big Q is regarding charging NiMH in NiCad charger. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwakrz Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 hmm My R900 uses NiMH batteries & not lithium. Can you post a link to the batteries you have purchased as you should have got Sony NH-14WM versions (as originally supplied). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeriyn Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 Anyone have experience with the gumstick chargers on eBay which are advertised as NiCad chargers?Check out the Sony BC-7HT. This wall unit charges NiMH gumstick batteries (e.g. the NH-14WM) and is compatible with any voltage wall current. I've seen these all over eBay, for quite low prices. They're probably bootlegs, but I'm sure that just like the bootleg Sony batteries, they work just as well, and cost a lot less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
