Hi Graham: Hi Graham: Go for the highest capacity NIMH batteries that you can find. Maplin have a range of them and also chargers. Another company which I use is called Strike-a-light in Staffordshire - I don't recall any contact information as I usually deal with them at ham radio events.

Does anyone have any particular recommendations then for a make of rechargeable battery and is there any particular charger I should go for? I don't have that much experience of rechargeable batteries and am not sure if there is a particular make or capacity I should ame for. regards Graham Graham Page Home Phone: 0207 265 9493 Mobile: 07753 607980 Fax: 0870 706 2773 Email: gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: gabriel_mcbird@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: gabriel_mcbird ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Henshall" <oceania@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 7:02 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: DS30 digital voice recorder Hi Graham, Depending on how much internal memory you want, you could get the DS40 or the DS50. The battery life, I would say, is about twenty hours playing audio books but might well be a lot more than that playing voice files. You can use NIMH rechargeable batteries in the recorder but you need a separate charger as they cannot be charged in the player itself. If you get high capacity batteries, I don't see why you couldn't get the same long battery life as from standard triple A's. Cheers, Sandra. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq __________ NOD32 2605 (20071022) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq No virus found in this incoming message.
