If you are using ni-cads on that supply, they may be suffering from
memory effect. It's not easy to cure that, except if you use a supply
that provides such thing.

You may try depleting the supply, until it reaches 1v per cell, using
a resistor. Then charge it again. Sometimes that cures the problem.
Quite likely it will not, as that is something you should have done
since the beginning. That is using the batteries until completely
depleted (1v per cell) and then recharging again.

You can replace the batteries quite easily, using individual cells.
For that you will have to open the case you have now and solder the
cells in series until you get to your voltage. If you can't do that
you better buy another battery.

But watch it: buy NimH batteries this time, not ni-cads. There several
suppliers on the Web, just do a Google search.

You may try LiIon batteries, used on DV cameras, but I don't know
what's the voltage of your supply or the current the DA-P1 needs.
LiIon do not support high currents.

Good luck!


Carlos

I've got the deck running now taping the whole day
from Sirius radio, lots of radio jock crap
interspersed but great jams, last nights blues jam is
going right now. It will need some editing to get rid
of the commentary but there are some cool interviews
to keep. I've had the satellite hook up for a while
but to get a really strong signal had to climb on the
roof yesterday and place the mini dish there. We live
in the Mountains but down next to the Winooski river
so I had to get it high up to clear the ridge line,
well worth it. If you subscribe it comes thru your
Internet also.

I'm selling my pair of Soundman OKM II R stealth microphones.  They come
with the original case and manual.  They're a great intro to stealth
recording for your DAT, MD, or JB3.  I must get rid of them to pay for my
upgrade!!  Go to http://www.soundman.de/usa/usa.htm for more info or email
with any questions.  I'm looking to get $150 plus shipping.  

Thanks,
Chris
