Just as a warning, I took my pronto battery and charging cradle back as
they were crap. The cradle is very good to keep the pronto in but the
charging is hit and miss and my pronto kept restarting every few days
when placed in the cradle. The final nail in its coffin was the shorting
out of the terminals on the bottom of the pronto that caused some
heating and black burn marking!!!!

Just beware spending money on the battery, keep the cradle to look cool

Regards

Ben

Ps I did follow all the ideas from remotecentral

I've been given a docking unit - but the battery never held its charge
that long, and was thrown.

Anyone know where you can get a replacement ? And how much ?

Or can you use standard rechargables ?

Cheers
