File down the plastic on the side of the connector next to the NZ90 body and it is almost straight. There is no extra pressure on the connector! Kind of silly of Sony to make the 90 the way that they did. A little playing around can fix a lot of things!

eric2002 NZ90 Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: California Posts: 953	I bought the charger they sell on ebay... the link is listed on an earlier post on this thread: first it's not $8.99... it's $14.99 with shipping.. still a great deal. I've been using it with my NZ and it works great! you can either charge the NZ or run the NZ while it's charging. I've been using rechargable batteries in my adapter and I get about 2 1/2 full charges out of each set of rechargchables... of course my rechargables are about 4-6 years old... I imagine i'll get better charge cycles with new non-rechargable batteries. also the connection fits really snug, nothing to worry about. The battery connector snaps into the NZ's hotsync connecter... it sits flush with the back of the NZ, no weird angles as mentioned in earlier posts... it fits really nice and snug. I am 100% satisified with the battery adapter and would recommend it to anyone who wants to charge their NZ when an outlet is not available.

I want to share with you all my delight. I received yesterday the PEGA-BC10 battery adapter and boy, what a nice tool.
Who cares for a second battery now ? I bought 4 rechargeable AA batteries and when fully charged I tested it.
I took some pictures and waited for the fateful words to appear on the screen, I did not have to wait for a long time, after about 6 or 7 shots I saw " the batteries are too low for using the flash blablabla... So I plugged in the adapter and no more messages, I took as many pictures as I wanted. I stopped at the end cause there was nothing else to shoot in my room. The good thing with this adapter is that you can also fully recharge your NZ while travelling.

Bye

Michel

There is no special way to insert the connector; it fits like any other connector to the NZ90 and if you don't have one now and wants to take pictures (with or without flash), this is a must buy! Sure beats buying a second battery!

jwittman Registered User Join Date: Aug 2002 Posts: 144	I have a question about the adapter. My NZ doesn't like to take pictures with less than 70% battery power. I'm getting tired of wanting to take a picture and not being able to because of low battery. I have a portable AC charger at home that I bought from Seido for my NR that works to charge my NZ. But, if my battery is running low and I plug in the charger, I still cannot take pictures until the internal battery is charged. Does the Pega-BC10 allow you to take pictures when your battery is low or do you have to let it charge up first? If it does let you take pictures, I don't understand the difference between the two chargers. It seems like the one running on AC power would be a stronger charge that the DC. Does that make sense?

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	Folks You may want to check out Brando online for all Clie accessories. This page is for the NZ90 - Note the 9V Battery Emergency Charger. I take this whereever I go plugs into the back & with fresh 9v battery plugged it will recharge on the go. With an Elastic band or bluetac you can strap it on!! They mail to wherever in the world. I've also bought the screen saver & retractable Synch-charger cable. When travelling only need to take one cable - no cradle, no charger. http://shop.brando.com.hk/clienz.php For Jwittman - Camera/flash shut down very early on NZ is common problem on brand new Li Battery. What you have to do is totally discharge the clie until it wont turn itself on anymore (make sure you hotsync for backup). What this does is recalibrates the Battery info - %. Now my camera/flash will keep going until the stated limits..

eric2002 NZ90 Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: California Posts: 953	I am using the "AA" battery charger (as I described in an earlier post on this thread).... ... you can use this charger while it is connected to your NZ ...so yes your NZ can run off of the charger, you don't have to wait for it to fully charge your NZ before you start using it. Did that make sense? I was contemplating getting the 9volt battery charger but read on some posts in Cliesource that one 9volt battery did not charge the NZ as many times as 4 "AA" batteries could. ....this was why I went with the 4AA charger. I've used mine for one trip and am about to use it on another...

eric2002 NZ90 Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: California Posts: 953	marionodapa, the 9volt can be bought at "shopbrando" and the AA can be bought from an eBay online store.. review the previous threads for the correct links

Unregistered Guest Posts: n/a	Me again, I gave you the URL a couple of posts ago. Brando is based in HK (most likely stuff/parts manufactured in China) prices in USD. They ship anywhere in the world. In actual fact it's surface mail/registered mail since most of their stuff is relatively light I got their screen protector on my NZ90 (it's washable, no glare very good), also Retractable Charging Synch cable. Of course the battery adaptor & I've just gone back & ordered a case & the Normal Charger Cable (a little more rugged & has a hotsync button which I'll use instead of getting a second cradle) Cheers David (I'll register in this forum when I get a second mail address setup so I don't get spammed to death...)
