Wanted a portable digi radio, bought the 'Pure One' from Comet whilst browsing but stupidly didn't read the spec well enough. Sign said 'mains or batteries'.. turns out its 'mains or custom/rare/expensive propietary power pack bought seperately'.
The spec of the 'pak' is below. Would 3 AA rechargables in series give the same output and capacity? Sure they'd fit, just need to contruct some sort of holder for them. If not do-able I'll take the radio back, but then I'll still be looking for a compact digi radio... grr.
From the Pure website; ============================ ChargePAK A1 features include: Easy to install ? can be fitted in seconds Easy to use ? just fit and forget Charges inside the radio, no separate charging unit required Increased battery life per charge over standard rechargeable batteries Replaces the need for throwaway alkaline batteries Provides up to 18 hours wireless listening
Specification: lithium-ion 3.7v 2100mAh. ======================
