The only charger you can use is Humanware's, because it has such a high voltage. I found this out when my dad accidentally packed my laptop's charger instead of my BrailleNote's for a trip to Virginia. We tried going into Radio Shack and Batteries Plus, but neither had a high enough voltage (3.6) charger to recharge my BN.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight. The real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists. If a blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical nuisance." -- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind, 1968-1986

Hi,

Maybe you need to go to the Humanware site and order a new battery. Rechargeable batteries wear out eventually. If you had the same one for
five years, it's about time for it to die.

Don't get a battery from Radio Shack; get it from Humanware.  I'm
surprised you got a charger from Radio Shack. I'd think Humanware would
want you to use their charger.

Mary
