Pure ChargePAK E1 Rechargeable Replacement Battery Pack for Pure Evoke 1S, Evoke 1S Marshall, Evoke Flow, One Flow and Sensia Digital Radios

This is the updated version of the Pure battery pack, first available at the start of December 2007. I am using it with a Pure One radio. It is a package the same size as 6 C type batteries, with a short cable and connector at one end. You plug the connector into a mating connector inside the battery space at the back of the radio, then fit the battery pack into the battery space. This is easy to do. Once fitted, the radio operates with or without mains power being connected. Whenever power is connected, the battery pack charges up and the radio operates from mains power. The instructions recommend a 24 hour charge initially, which I did though the indicator suggested it was fully charged long before that. In use I found it lasted for about 20 hours before the radio died. The indicator sits at 4 bars for most of this time then drops off quickly. From the drained state it took about 10 hours to charge again. However, I find it easier to keep the charger at my bedside and plug the radio in each night, so it does not normally fully discharge. This way, it is fully charged by morning and can be used anywhere in the house during the day for as long as needed, without running out of power.

Makes a great radio truly portable and provides mains back up. I bought this because I live in a rural area and we get the occasional power cut, so there is the possibility of not being woken up, late for work or missing that flight...However, with the ChargePAK, at least I know the clock will tell the right time in the morning! The instructions do seem to indicate that the alarm will not go off if on battery power alone, as this is a function of the radio; it is not really related to the battery. If you want a full battery back up for the alarm function, it may not do what you want, but to make you radio truly portable, it's great and no more batteries to replace.

I bought this battery along with a new (my second) Pure Mini Series II radio. I have had the first radio for almost 4 years of trouble-free daily use. Two weeks ago I bought a cheap Goodman's Canvas radio for £19.00 but had to return it on the day of purchase because it would not work. So I decided to buy a second Pure radio. This battery costs more than the Goodman's radio! The Pure Radio plus battery costs over £70 so it is not cheap for a small radio. However once you get the battery into the radio and charged it has a long life for listening as a portable. In all the years I have had my other PURE radio I have never had a flat battery. That's because when I am listening to the radio as 'mains radio' the battery is recharging in the background. No hassle of pulling a battery or batteries out of the radio to put them into a charger. It works well. Apart from the cost of the battery my only quibble is that it is very fiddly to get it plugged into the radio. There is an instruction leaflet with the battery and a warning not to force it into position. However it really needs some sort of 'docking mechanism' which would guide the radio plug-in into the proper connecting point. There is none and it is hard to know whether you are pushing into the right place. Last night it took me more than half an hour just fiddling with it to get it to the correct spot - of course when the connector was properly aligned with the socket in the radio it slid down into place very easily with no need then to force. Finding that correct alignment however is a nightmare. Having said that, the good news is that I won't have to take the battery out or put it back in again as long as the radio keeps working and the battery problem should be a once in a lifetime exercise. For me its twice in a life time because I recall having the same problem with my other radio 4 years ago.

This is an item I have waited a long time for, but nobody seemed to make me happy buying it for me at Christmas or as a Birthday present. I decided to go and get it myself just as the Summer holidays started and I knew I would be working outdoors loads and wanting to never miss a moment of the olympics. With my battery bought I could finally take my digital radio outdoors and enjoy my radio all day. This is an expensive expense and made me thing hard about buying it to justify the cost in relationship to the price of a digital radio, but having it makes me satisfied that I am maximising use of the radio; so in effect it was justified. Highly recommended, but get a few people to pool in and buy it for you for Christmas.

When I bought my Pure DAB radio, the retailer neglected to tell me that it required a chargeable battery for it to work. Therefore I had to purchase a rechargeable battery pack for the radio I had just purchased. It holds charge for about a week if used every day and it is fully charged within about 8 hours.

Works ok. On the plus side: it arrives with some charge so you can check it functions but takes a full 24 hours for first charge and it seems to hold charge ok, I have only charged it the once since getting it about three weeks ago and I use the radio for about 20 mins a day in the bathroom. On the down side: it's a little annoying that the radio knows its using the chargepak and so the screen backlight goes out after a few seconds of switching it on. Also the display goes blank when on standby so you lose the function of a clock. Both these functions were available when I used the radio on the mains adapter! I know these are moans about the radio rather than the chargepak itself, but still. My biggest gripe is that this little rechargeable battery pack is sooooo expensive...more than half the cost of the radio itself. I was tempted to buy a cheap copy model instead for much less but on prior experience they tend to last much less than the original so I went for the costly one. This makes the whole dab radio setup about £80 which to me is a lot for a small radio for the bathroom, especially as where we live we only get a few dab stations. I only went dab to future-proof myself for the day they terminate fm services, but the way Pure market their radios and the chargepaks makes them very pricey. I'm still not convinced this is particularly good value for money...but at least it works...sort of!

Accessorio indispensabile per radio Pure DAB per poterla usare senza il collegamento elettrico. Ho una radio Pure Pop Mini e nei primi tempi ho usato quattro batterie AA ricaricabili, ma si scaricavano velocemente e ogni volta occorreva estrarle e ricaricarle per poter usare la radio in modalità cordless. Con questo accessorio basta ricollegarla alla rete quando non serve e automaticamte si ricarica. Il costo è alto, ma immagino che Pure lo imponga perchè è praticamente necessario per usare la radio come portatile.

« (Piles-bâtons) réunis par (une puce électronique) et, conditionné sous plastique scellé » Pourquoi ? 5 étoiles. Ayant acheté le même produit sur un autre site j’avance deux raisons. 1__ Le délais de livraison est réduit par quinze. 2__ Contrairement à mon « autre » achat, le produit est totalement conforme. L’ensemble « Radio-Batterie » fonctionne parfaitement.

Einfacher Einbau und Bedienung und große Kapazität, aber hochpreisig, das Radio ist dadurch überall einsetzbar und wird während es in Betrieb ist aufgeladen

bon produit, conforme à la description
