RE: MD: electronics from Japan (volts) Sony gum pack and charger
=== The original message was multipart MIME=== === All non-text parts (attachments) have been removed === I looked at the converter it is $30 at minidisco.com.

Will this damage the battery? Is it worth getting a converter? Yes, get a converter. Pushing 120 volts through the wall wart may not kill anything immediately, but it WILL cause damage. Also, is there anywhere I can find translated instructions? My manual had English instructions in the last 1/3rd or so. There weren't any pictures there because you're supposed to look in the Japanese section for the pictures. === MIME part removed : text/html; === - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I bought an extra battery and charger from Planet MiniDisc http://www.planetminidisc.com/. If you search for NH-14WM you will see a list of several items, including the battery (NH-14WM) and the charger (Sony's part number BC-7HT). FWIW, I'm very impressed with the battery charger. It's quicker than charging the battery internally and it's very compact and slick. HTH. Ed "What the" Heckman [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--+ | The 10 Cannot-ments: | | 1.
