Nintendo DS-LITE Replacement Battery - Double Capacity 1600mAh
I bought this battery recently, based on price and single positive review from another customer. Arrived very quickly (2days) and all appeared OK; original packaging etc. When attempting to fit the battery, two problems emerged. The minor one was that the free screwdriver was too big for the tiny screw on the DS Lite Battery cover. Fortunately, I had a small jewellers' screwdriver, but anyone relying on the supplied one may be frustrated. The second problem was that the battery wouldn't fit neatly into the space in the DS Lite, sufficiently to replace the cover. On examination, it became apparent that the battery had a pronounced seam around its narrow edge, and the ... Read More:

Ultra-portable devices like the AspireOne absolutely beg for lengthy runtimes away from an AC adapter, and the 2200mAh battery supplied as standard with most Aspires simply doesn't cut it with its 2 (3 if you're careful) runtime. This 6600mAh monster changes all of that, with runtimes in the 6-8 hour region you can now take your Aspire off charge first thing in the morning without worrying that it'll die on you halfway through the day unless you lug the adapter around with you.
So yes, as the other reviews and the photos suggest, it's big. If the aesthetics of the Aspire particulary appeal to you, then you may be put off by having a big lumpy battery pack hanging off the back like a slightly poorly colour/texture-matched bulbous ... Read More:

If you're going to be away from a computer for any length of time you'll need a charger for your Zen. The Creative charger comes with interchangeable UK/continental mains plugs and, curiously, a round DC plug that doesn't fit the Zen at all. Instead, you get an adapter to turn it into the USB plug that you need.
The DC lead is substantial, unlike most such leads which tangle abominably before losing an argument with the hoover. The USB adapter makes it easy to plug in alternative power sources but note that it's just a straight-through connection; voltage regulation is in the charger.
Important note: lithium ion batteries, which are what you have in your Zen, don't like to be kept fully charged all the time. Constant ... Read More:

since i bought the adapter i have had no problems with it. i didnt realy expect it to work with my packard bell laptop but it did plus i found that two pins were compatible with my laptop which i was pleased about. the delivery was also quicker than i expected; it only took two days.
on that basis i recommend this adapter even though it is not the cheapest on the market.

I bought this instead of getting a CD player for my car, since most of my music is on my Creative Zen player anyway, and have had problems from day one. The sound from the tape itself is loud, the sound cuts out every so often while the tape clicks and makes loud sounds (maybe trying to switch sides), and sometimes after cutting out it comes back at a completely different volume, which could actually be pretty dangerous when it suddenly blasts out the speakers at twice the volume, as well as always having to adjust the volume instead of watching the road. The build quality is also poor - it feels cheap and the cable fibres eventually wore out meaning the volume and balance changes depending on how the wire's bent. When it is working, the sound quality ... Read More:

Bought this charger because of the 15min charge time and it's reasonable price compared to others. However I had difficulties from day one trying to charge the batteries that come with the unit. They are hit and miss. The annoying thing was that when the unit refused to charge the supplied batteries (which was indicated by a flashing red light) it had to be left for a while (sometimes hours) before it would charge successfully. The last time I attempted to charge the batteries, the unit started to smell of burning and smoke came out.
Take a look at the reviews on Amazon.com as these are more in tune with the experience I received.
Because the unit is less than 12 months old I have tried
