I have Philip SBA290. I'm choosed to not use rechargeable batteries are not from Philips. This is to keep my speaker are more durable. I think, this is the safest to do

I guess “do not use rechargable batteries” in manual means only one thing you have to buy one time use batteries from Philips, and only from them, others can destroy it :):)

Nonsense, I’m the owner of SBA290 and I’m using standard rechargable batteries from VARTA. No problems yet

i just bought the same unit. the power adaptor is a dissapointment, but you can always get a spare one for us voltage, just note the output power of 9V/ 500mA, and also check the polarity.

i wonder why the manual states “do not use rechargable batteries”?

anyway, i bought 6 GP rech.batteris 1000mAh each, and after 6 hours, still playing at full volume.

Hey Cous’
Now that might motivate me to get an iPod. I’ve never been too keen on listening to music with headphones, unless I’m riding on the subway or bus (which I hardly ever do nowadays). But that tiny set of speakers is a great idea for travelling, etc.
