RE: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
,ray samson will replace the unit free of charge. all you have to do is call them and give them your serial number and the date you purchased the recorder. then they will giv you an rma number and you can send your unit in to get it exchanged.

Re: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
For me its not a problem as I have plenty of batteries around, i've detailed this so when I need the recorder? Well, I just insert a battery in other words I don't leave batteries in the recorder. The battery keeps the time/date stamp function going when the recorder is powered down and I can certainly live without that function.

RE: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
I have this problem and will probably end up sending the unit back. I'm sure someone here mentioned a fault on a batch of Zoom H1 recorders that runs the battery down very quickly, or did I see that somewhere else?

Re: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
Ah, I see. Well then just ignore my advice. I was way off base. Sounds like the external battery just doesn't have enough of it's own juice to do much more. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com On 12/6/2010 10:54 AM, Alexandra Grünauer wrote: Hi Christopher, It's a litiom ion battery and when I charge it with the usb charger plugged into the wall, I get 100 per cent.

Re: Running Out of Battery Power with Today's Digital Recorders
I've been reading about these so-called USB battery packs that charge from the PC's USB port but have several different connectors to mate with different appliances, and so far I haven't read a single bad review of any of them. I do like your comments about the Sanyo batteries, might look into those specifically for use with the H4N, or for making an external battery pack of my own with a double set of them. Some intriguing possibilities present themselves here.
