pic 8 and pic 9 what is that tubelar thing with the wire coming out of it, Is that a battery holder external for this?
I never had one of these [ solar walkmans ] ever.
so am not familar about them except what I have read.
Yes it is the external battery holder for 1 AA battery, it also has a internal non removal re-chargeable gumstick type battery this can only be charged via the solar panel, I use a halogen desk lamp for this.I replaced the internal battery in this one as the original was dead and leaking, the radio will work directly from the solar panel with no batteries, but needs very bright light.
