Well, Steve, your problem with your rechargeable battery is not a
defective one, it is from not using it.  If you let a rechargeable
battery sit up for a long period of time like a year, it will not
take a charge any more.  They have to be used to stay in shape.
You might try charging it up, and turning your recorder on and
letting it run until it won't run anymore.  Don't forget to unplug
it when it is running.  Leave it on for at least 24 hours, and then
recharge it again, and run it down again.  Maybe after this, it
will take a charge if you are lucky.

     Btw you can buy a new battery for it.

               Walter
