I've just posted this on uk.rec.audio, but it's occurred to me some here may have a view:
I've got an unused DAB radio (an Alba PD2) that I'd like to use in the bathroom.
It's mains only - the mains input jack says '6V DC 1500ma'.
Might it be feasible to lash up a rechargeable battery pack of some sort
- lead or NiMH, for example? There's a fair bit of room in the large case - I'd say at least 5cm x 5cm x 4cm.
I would just try a few NiMH but some radio manufacturers describe them as unsuitable, and I'm not sure why.
