Price of NP400 Battery

[kelster]

Funan, 4th floor i think. the batts are right in front of the cashier. the shop is like a mini-mart, you have to go through a gate. its right in front of the escalator.

okie....thnx...how much u bought for urs and wat's the mAH ratings like?...1500? or 1700?...

 

[sulhan]

does anyone know where still have stock for EG-NP400?
one of my EG-NP400 dying liao after some 9-10 months. can only charge and use for a while.

Hiee Don,

haha forget to ask you this.....

I have seen your setup and seems that you always have your grip on...like its glued there already. Care to check you gold contacts on the battery and the one in the batteyr grip to see if there are grimes or dirt or dust layer that may have accumulated through time.

The Resisivity change on the gold contacts on your grip will result in bad "voltage" guestimation by the body and the bad dirty contacts on the battery will cause bad "charge voltage" guestimation for the charging sense circuit to shut off. Through time, you battery charge cycle will be shorter and shorter if you do not ensure good contacts(clean...)

rgds,
sulhan

the gold contacts on the batts are clean but can see some usage wear. have not checked the grip though. the contacts on the charger are clean too.

i went around a few shop in Funan on Saturday all no stock, even at EG.

Was at EG on Thur ... boh stock liao. Was told more NP-400 would come in by mid-Oct. Hopefully I can get two batts in my next flying to SG at end of Oct. EG salesperson had blank look on his face when I asked about 1,700mAh rating.

Didn't have time to check out the other Funan stores ...

Has anyone tried Bestcam Electronics which is just next door to Alan Photo at Funan? Last time I was there they had stocks for one non-original which is in a yellow packaging.
