Just got the D25S from Silicon Salvage. For me it is a reminder that for some reason portable audio has been left with no high end (or mid fi...).
Anyway, I have two questions I hope some of you can help with:
1. Russ Arcuri (in his great review) said that the original Sony Battery is 4 volts 600mAh. As standard rechargeables consist of 1.2V cells, I would assume that the battery is either a 3.6V battery (consisting of 3 cells) or a 4.8V battery (consisting of 4 cells).
2. Is my assumption that the little red 3 way connector (located at the bottom back of the unit) is a recharger connector correct?
I ask this as the Sony battery is quite large. At current technology it should be quite possible to find stick cells that could easily give 1.2-1.6Ah (at 3.6volt) in the available space.
That would increase the portable life 2-3 fold (i.e. 6-12 hours). Also, it could prove to be much cheaper....
