Chris,
I have the Sony E25 portable player (I got it bundled with a deck too),
which also takes a single AA battery. I usually use Ni-cd rechargeable AAs
with it. I've had a separate (generic commercially available) AA battery
charger for yonks, and it charges 2 AAs at a time so I have 3 or 4 AAs for
the E25 and run them in shifts (I usually have a standard non-rechargeable
AA on me somewhere in case the rechargeable dies to/from work - I just can't
stand biking in silence!). That way there's always a fresh battery to hand
and they always get drained and charged fully that way.
I don't see why you'd use non-rechargeables except in an emergency - once
you've spent the initial outlay (a charger and a few batteries) you're
basically running your MD walkman free of cost (at least until you've
charged and drained all your AAs 1-2000 times each!)
The E25 can also take a "Gumpack" flat rechargeable battery, which goes in
the same place - the sides of the "cylinder" the AA battery goes in has
indents to accomodate the shape of a gumpack (I guess this is standard with
Sonys?). I don't know if it will accept the gumpack the R55/90 uses, the
one I've used with it is the gumpack I got with my tape walkman a couple of
years ago and I suspect it may be a Ni-cd (it's totally silver) rather than
the NiMh the R55 etc use. The walkman also came with a sony wall socket
recharger for this battery - similar to model BC-7SG (in NZ). I don't use
it much though - it gives less play time than an AA, rechargeable or
otherwise.
Hope this helps. Now if someone can only help me out with my Panasonic
MR-100 question!
