I own a Sony MZ-E20 portable MD player (MZ-E40 in the USA) and am using it with Sony rechargeable batteries. If I want to start the batteries charging, I press the STOP button until the display says "Charge". When the "Charge" indicator goes out. does this machine go into a "trickle-charge" or "sustaining charge" mode where a small amount of current is fed into the battery to finish off the charge cycle and prevent the battery self-discharging in the unit so it's ready for use when you want to go out? The battery pack I am using with it is the Sony BP-DM10 NiCd pack which is the NiCd equivalent of the BP-DM20 NiMH pack recommended for the MD Walkman. This is because I have been finding it hard to track down the BP-DM20 pack and will be eventually using that pack alongside the BP-DM10. With regards, Simon Mackay === MIME part removed : text/html; === ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
