    Hey.
    I have a pair of Philips SBC HC075 wireless headphones. I have had them for about 2 and a half years. Recently I have encountered a problem, When charging them through the charger station the battery doesn't take on power anymore. I presume it is dead... I have tried using normal AAA batteries to no avail and also tried replacing it with an allmost exact match to the battery by Uniross.
    The battery is a Philips SBC HB220S:
    -AAA
    -1.2v
    -220m/Ah
    -Ni-Cd

    The Uniross is
    -AAA
    -1.2v
    [bold]250m/Ah[/bold] - The difference!
    -Ni-Cd.

    Could anyone offer any help on this matter, what else I could try or just where to get a replacement battery?!? I have looked but can't seem to find one...


    Thx in advance,

    Hey, Thx for the reply ddp. The thing is I can't use the Uniross batteries cos when I put them in the headphones and connect them to charge then the light doesn't come on. I don't understand why but presume it is somthing philips have done to stop you using other batteries. Also I know it isn't the actual charging unit or headphones cos when i put the Philips battery in the light comes on to say it's charging and everything - the battery just doesn't take on any power...


    Any ideas?

    Thx,

    They don't.... The battery is in the headphones and the headphones plug into the charger unit via cable and that is how the battery takes on power - well used to...


    Get back to me plz...
