    Hi, I've found another bit...

    1) CF-28 Battery type CF-VZSU18 'blue tag'.

    2) Almost dead - it consistently lasted six minutes when in use..

    3) [No image needed as price less than $100.]

    4) Free for cost of post and packing - let me know what service you want me to use & I'll let you know the cost. (Estimate; $12.00 to USA)

    5) Payment by Paypal.

    6) Royal Mail Airmail ouside of the UK, surface mail within the UK.

    7) Ebay ID rjenkinsgb, feedback over 400+

    8) This is the battery that was fitted to my CF-28 Mk3 when I acquired it.

    I tried many charge / discharge & conditioning cycles but it never changed from six minutes runtime, so I bought a new one.

    As it did not show as faulty, I think it may be suitable for re-celling.
    I don't have a CF-28 any more but I have just connected it to a Panasonic external charger and it shows amber 'charging' status, not red. I believe this means the electronics are OK?

    It has not otherwise been used in many months.

    Visually it is perfect, the casing has not been opened or 'got at' in any way I can see.

    I believe he means that it is free but you pay for shipping. He mentions the "Under $100" so he doesn't have to post pics and go through all the other stuff.

    Hi,
    this is still available.

    To clarify, the battery is Free.

    Post or Shipping is not free :cool: - it would be about UKP 5.00 within the UK, or US$ 12.50 to the USA.

    [I often have to buy packing materials, so I don't want to pack it unless someone definitely wants it, and I can't give an exact shipping cost until it is packed.]

    Robert.
