Great, Jean-Sebastien. Glad it worked for you too. I've certainly not experienced any problems at all with it to date.

I contacted B&O directly via their website a couple of weeks ago. At first they denied the conversion kit ever existed, but then they came back later saying the kit did exist but was no longer available - at least not fr…

Ah, good for you, Andy. Hope you have a lot of fun with it. Hopefully, by the time you do come around to needing batteries, we'll have a fairly good idea how well I've faired with this pack.

1) No, I'm not sure at all. Other people seem to have done it and it worked for them. I can't promise it won't break your device, spill acid everywhere or make your hair turn grey. 2) I don't know. I couldn't find 700mAh…

Hi JS, I've been meaning to post an update. Yes, I bought the pack on ebay . It arrived a week ago last Tuesday. The seller, Paul, was very friendly and got back in touch quickly whenever I emailed him. It was very easy …

ridax: I have used NiMh batteries several times in BL7000 and they work just fine... Good to hear, Ridax - thanks for the confirmation. What was the rating? The battery pack I've ordered is 2400mAh but Ulf Kiener (see ea…

Rightho. I've ordered the battery pack - it will probably come early next week.

But surely that's just the same as this pack , except that with the pack you don't need to do any soldering?

Sorry, Peter - couldn't follow that link. I think it included your session id.

Nope - it's just AA. I'm going to go ahead and buy the AA pack listed before. Will post results here.

Peter: I was advised by an authorised B&O repairer that NiMH was the way to go... He is looking further into this for me. This page (in German) seems to confirm this: http://www.ulf-kiener.de/bo/bo.html I got in touch wi…

I've found another pack which looks more hopeful: Go to this page on Pandan Models , and scroll down to " Sakura - 5 Cell 6.0v 1000 Mah Receiver Battery Pack (NiCad) ". Any views on this?

Great stuff. Thanks for all the helpful advice, Puncher. It looks like the seller isn't far from me - I'm going to try to go and pick them up over the weekend. if he'll go with that. Otherwise, it looks like it will be M…

So, it sounds like this battery pack might be the answer, or maybe this one ?

Thanks for the hint on the battery front, PL212. I have to admit I'm tempted to go down the cheapo soldering route. I will probably take a look at the weekend, and then burn myself, curse and then afterwards post a long …

That's interesting. I'll have to try opening it up. I don't suppose anyone has service manuals for the BL 7000 perchance ;-)

Hi Peter, I bought this Beolink 7000 on Ebay, to use with a BeoSystem 6500: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170139294014&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:UK:11 It doesn't seem to be accepting a charge, so I …

Thanks, Mico. Yes, isn't the BC9000 a great design? It's a bit like a sleeker version of the BeoMaster 2400 my Grandpa left me ( http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=335 ). That's what prompted me to buy the 6500…
