    I have a Denon " DMP-R70" minidisc player which requires this weird battery:

    I found this battery on several sites but unfortunately cannot find a charger any where
    Do you know what battery charger I can get to charge this battery?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the world of minidisc, I just got that big ole Denon Component to go with my mini Denon Unit a few months ago.

    The Denon DMP-R70 is a AKA Sharp MD-MS 100, you might have already seen this but they have problems with US Voltage so use that 100v Japanese Wall Wart. This article describes the charging problems and how to fix it. I think they are just using wall power to charge it through the AC jack.

    This battery is rechargeable so i am sure there should be a charger for it.

    From the voltage I would guess it is Lithium Ion. There are lots of universal chargers available for these. I have a Tronic one from Lidl which claims it will even set the Polarity automatically, although so far I have only used theNiMH facilities.

    This is the one I have



    the Lithium Ion charging contacts are both on one side so aimed at Mobile Phone or Camera batteries, although the bloke in the video gets around that with some croc clips.

    For the battery you show I guess something like this

    https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/battery-pack-chargers/1466770/

    from a brand I have heard of

    or this

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BC6R...t=&hvlocphy=1006943&hvtargid=pla-474474004796

    from a brand which hopefully doesn't live up to its name, would be more suitable.

    p.s. I haven't tried any of these on the type of battery you show.

    Thanks. I order one from Amazon and hopefully this charger can accommodate the weird size battery.
