I received a beautiful Walkman today. This one is a WM-EX900. I think this one is similar to WM-EX9. This Walkman is in a great cosmetic and working condition and sounds great. I do not think the battery is original since doesn't have any Sony logo but holds the charge well.
Surprised to here the battery holds it's charge well. I'm assuming it's new(er) but I'd offer you this advice if it's a Chinese knock-off battery....keep an I on it while it charges. Sometimes these things either heat up and melt or you get ridiculously short use out of them. (I learned the hard way with my DSLR camera battery). Almost roasted a hotel room's drapes!! Stay safe Boodokhan...
Yep, battery is not original. But that doesn't mean that you have to use another one. I think I know those ones and they are a great newer option to the original batteries. I have several of those, only the original ones that came with the unit, and I had to throw them because they started leaking right after some charges. The ones from my DD9 are expired - as recently my DD9 too =(
Obviously the battery is not original (as seen on the photos). Someone please let me know where to get them as well as an option for the rechargeable gumstick acid batteries from AIWA. Thanks!
gumstick batteries are not made by famous brands anymore or if you find one may not hold the charge as it supposed to This is the link to a Sony gumstick battery still available online: https://www.amazon.com/SONY-NH-14WM...d=1485274706&sr=8-3&keywords=gumstick+battery I get the brand new one of some type of replica or available one on Ebay or Amazon something like this: https://www.amazon.com/HQRP-Portabl...=1485274706&sr=8-13&keywords=gumstick+battery
Great info - I rather pay around $7 for the generic one rather than $45 for the casic SONY battery. I bet they are equally effective (the generic one might be even more powerful since it is more recent). Again, thanks for the links. I wonder if you know of generic batteries for the AIWA models - I know those are much more difficult to find plus the original ones could never survive the pass of time because they are acid-based (I have 5 almost new ones that lost they charging power).
Sorry to disappoint you Boodokhan , but that´s not a "chameleon" , it´s just a violet EX-900 I have one exactly like that with the same remote . The chameleons came only as EX-9 , and changed the colour as you move it , were beautiful and not easy to find these days .
Every once in a while I'll see a car with similar paint, it's pretty neat to see it change when you drive by it.
I recommend these batteries. They charge via USBC as you see they're plugged in right now. Not needing to be charged but just letting you see how they can be charged. I got them off of AliExpress. I paid about $22 each. I think a couple months ago. Here's a green drumstick battery I said. Gum stick battery. Anyway, I'm not going to correct that. Here's the picture This is the Walkman I used it in which is the wm-gx670 which I rebelted and I made a video about these rechargeable li polymer battery in my YouTube channel cassette2go.
Here is the actual ex7 and the Sony ex9 which is the comedian colored I said chameleon colored walkman's. I have them both complete in their box. They both need belts cuz they don't work either one but they're nearly cosmetically perfect and have everything in their boxes. I'm not taking everything out but I got the case everything comes with it. Anyway, here's just a quick picture. If interested in any way email me at. decentman4you2007@gmail.com Good day.
