Hi, any recommendation to buy replacement batteries for the BeoCom 6000 system handsets. I orderd some from batterydepot.com but the system doesnt recharge them. I did enter the activation code required but that didnt help either. Either I dont have ctivation code right or there is some compatibility issue.

 

Any suggestions on either how to get these batteries to work or  place from where I can get batteries that are compatible with the system. I really want to try and avoid paying $50  per battery to the B&O store.

Thanks

Wow I wouldn't think that parts for such a proprietary brand like Bang & Olufsen could be found in radioshack.

True but batteries can be quite specific nowadays. Especially in the rechargable segment.

Thanks for the warm welcome and suggestions.

 

@Burantek: Are these the batteries you get from RadioShack. The customer reviews for these are pretty bad which is wehy I strayed away from them. Otherwise the convinience fo going down to a local store and getting something is great.

Is the activation code you use after you put them in : 9#9#9*655 ?

 

@ : Which B&O store. I called the store in Portland which is the nearest one to me and I was quoted $50 + shipping for each. Thanks.

 

Thanks all for your help.

Well if the batteries being sold by the B&O store are getting better feedback than the radioshack batteries, then I would probably go with the B&O batteries because they are apparently more feasible than everyone previously thought.
