I bought one on ebay in the US recently, and rediscovered how nice it is to have the battery option. I love being able to just grab the radio to either work outside or in another room. I am also really impressed on how long it will operate on batteries. I have never run them to dead, but can listen, say all afternoon. I don't remember exactly what I bought but in the US it was about $25USD. I would be surprised if these packs were "old". I am familiar with some of these battery manufactures and know that many are capable of quick line setup to run "short batches" for low quota orders to fill niche demands (for items like this). Since batteries age and die, but the products are still useful, I imagine it's a decent business to be able to fill this demand. Sorry for the editorial, just wanted to provide what little insight I have to support my feeling that these are probably recently (within reason) manufactured :) Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Redrum's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113062 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
