Greetings all,

I kept waiting for [Link: 64.252.62.40] to get stock back in.

Finally I couldn't wait any longer (my Pronto would die within a day!), so I call my local battery place (Batteries +).

The guy there said come on in with my remote and he could put something together for me.

I did, and he made me a new NiMH back with Sanyo 440s (they look like AAA with about 1/5th more in height). The pack fits the compartment in my TSU3000 perfectly snugg (no rattling!) takes about 5hrs to charge and lasts over a month (my old stock Phillips Pronto pack lasted 2 weeks when new!).

I called him to tell him how well they were working out and asked if he could do it for others. He said no problem!

It cost me about 30bucks.


Batteries Plus: (480) 730-1103
The guy's name was Bruce.

Prontowizard has 900 mAh custom made battery packs in stock since 1st of January.

We have these custom made for us and they meet all of Philips original specs for communication with the charger and include all saftey features of the original.

Of course they last a lot longer between charges over the original battery. Only $21.95 See our advertising banner here or visit http://ProntoWizard.com

I have been shipping to the UK for many clients.

We typically have 100's in stock at all times.

did you get a resettable fuse in yours and did the guy include the thermistor to regulate the charger?

We are now only about a week behind in shipping the 1000mAh battery packs at www.prontobattery.com, so if anyone wants the highest capacity available, the wait is only about a week. We've sold almost 700 of them in the past six months, and have heard nothing but good things from our customers. These packs come with a one-year warranty, and we've only received one of them back for replacement. We will install custom labels at no additional charge for dealers or installers, so your clients have a handy way to remember your contact information (just request this when you order).

Mike,

I ship world-wide for an additional $4 over the regular price. I don't think you'll find anyone actually in the UK producing Pronto batteries though.

Hi Eric

Thanks for the response
I assume these packs work with the Marantz RC5400 model.

I will def bear you in mind in the near future as I am sure my battery pack is starting to fail.

Many Thanks

Dave D'Arche"

Yes to both Dave, We copied the original's thermistor and the fuse on the top and bottom of the Phillips pack.

Only difference was the cells.

Yes, they work with the Marantz models, as well as the European Pronto models. They're a direct replacement for the HHR-60AAA/F4 pack.

Dear Shiftlock,

If you are only a week behind in shipping why have I not received the one I ordered from you back last December and paid by PayPal? My PayPal email address is: [email protected]. Please advise me there or at my main email address: [email protected]
