Where can I buy them?

 

[Redwoood]

What type?

Try a) manufacturer's site
b) large electronics retailers that carry a lot of PCDPs

I know that etronics for example has Sony gumsticks

The 1400mA (or mW, I don't know) ones, any brand. I found a couple places but they're so damn expensive, like 25 bucks a piece.

In most places on the planet, only the "electronic giants" make batteries of this form factor, so I'm afraid you'll have to settle for the 25 buck price *sigh*.

A cheaper alternative would be to look for lower-capacity Ni-Cd gumpacks. Most devices that recharge Ni-MH can recharge Ni-Cd with no problem, and it might fit into your budget better.

The unit would be mAh.

Well,

Consumer electronics are cheap in HK. I can get 1400NiMh Sony stick for $14 USD. If there are a bunch of you that want one, I can go get a couple. Shipping should be less than $5, so it would be worth it if a couple of you were interested and willing to distribute accordingly.

I remember ordering a stick direct from Sony when I was in the States, and the shipping alone was $10...the battery arrived a week later.

I personally have two of them for my MD player, and I carry around an extra battery stick instead of the external battery holder.

There are other brands here, but the Sonys come with a plastic battery case that is nice for transport.

Sony Stamina 1400mah Gumsticks in the UK are on average about £12 ($17)... but the cheapeast i've seen them in the UK was in a little shop in Frome (Somerset) where i bought 3 at a cost of £8 ($11) each

Unfortunately that was whilst i was visiting the south west of England which i don't do anymore, so i can't go and buy a job lot to pass on i'm afraid

They are £10 from Sony Center. And they are everywhere.

 

[FrostyMMB]

Are there any Sony Centers in Wisconisn or Minnesota or are they just everywhere in the UK?

 

[Duncan]

Don't you have Sony Style shops in the US?

Or, any authorised Sony Dealer should carry the things...
