Re: MD: Additional Battery

Hi Yaniv, If it is just one cell that you use, then a standard AA alkaline battery, say Duracell, will have a rated voltage of 1.5 V, and rated capacity of 2,700 mAh, and a 5 year shelf life. The maximum open circuit voltage is normally 1.56V, and the recommended end voltage is 0.8V. It will ope

MD: OT - UK electricity supply

Hi All, There was some discussion a few days ago on the voltage of UK electricity supply system. If the following has been said before, then I apologize for taking the bandwidth. The UK, as from the early 1990's, has a declared nominal voltage of 230V with a tolerance of +10% and -6%. Prior to

Hi All, It appears that it is not a question of whether or not it is legal to copy, but whether or not you can get away with theft. Each individual's attitude to this sort of crime depends on whether it suits their purposes to break the law. CD's which I own state that 'unauthorized copying, hir

Hi All, Just a note, which can save you some grief. Be aware if you're using Nicads or NiMH rechargeable batteries (both have a nominal cell voltage of 1.2V). Nicads tend to have a memory effect, and if not discharged need discharging to 1V per cell before recharging. Many Nicad chargers do thi

Hi Richard, >From your brief description, this seems like a fairly straightforward piece of software. Presumably the md does not store the MP3 in its compressed form, but each track will take the same space as on a cd - i.e. still only 74 minutes of sound, but of the poorer MP3 audio quality.

Hi Matt, What is the battery type? Nickel-Metal Hydride, Ni-Cad, Lithium-Ion, or whatever. Does it come with a charger? Sorry, the part number means nothing to me. Best wishes, Ray >Date: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 16:07:06 -0800 >From: "Matt L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >I was wondering what I need to worr

MD: Sharp batteries for MT161

1999-11-14 Thread Ray West
Hi, a few days ago someone was enquiring about batteries for the MD 161. Well, this is what I have found out. The handbook cautions about using NiCad batteries. There is no problem with using NiCads, despite what the manual says. You will have to charge them up externally. The MT161 from Comet, D
