Just received a RQ-SX72 I got off of eBay today (under $5!). I have nothing but the unit itself and a Sony NC-6WM battery. Not sure if that's what it takes, but the battery is dead and I have no way of charging it.

I'm thinking I could get it up and running if I can get a new gumstick battery with a charger for the battery.

Anybody have any ideas what I should be buying? I saw this on eBay:

Rechargeable Gumstick

Would that work for this unit?

That will work.

about a year ago i bought one of there little packages. 2-- 1400 batteries and the charger for about 25.00. i would rate the system as just fair for one reason which is the batteries tend to warp. if you don't have a tight fitting inset opening, it's no problem. if you like to gamble try this one. i was a winner. i bought a sony D-ej915 titanium cd player with the remote and 2 batteries delivered for 27.50. it was all just like new and the batteries are sony's and are still very strong. they charge in the player itself in a few hours.

Thanks for the info.

I put an order in and should get it in a few weeks. I'll let you all know how it turns out. Hopefully the batteries don't get too crazy on me.
