I’d love to know of a British company like Total Battery who can rebuild such batteries.

My most recent case involves a guy with two displays where the batteries have failed.  The supplier no longer provides replacement batteries, and he’s potentially facing a £6,000 each for the later displays.

“Daylight robbery” doesn’t even begin the describe this.

I don't know which battery suppliers are in merry old England.  Here in Canada we have a number of such companies as Total Battery, Batteries Plus, and more than these.Aside from anything F.S. might be able to do (and you'll definitely pay for it), it is generally easier and less costly to have custom batteries rebuilt by a battery company rather than buying them from the braille display supplieritself.  They can either rebuild the one you have, or they can make another.

Let us know how you do and what solution you find.  Batteries have been a pain in the braille with these braille displays for decades now, and it really need not be so.

Does anyone know where we can get hold of a replacement battery for my daughter's focus? She tells me it keeps turning itself off and that she believes the battery isn't charging properly any more. Is it possible to replace them? She's had the display a few years and used it a great deal in that time. Any advice welcome.

 

Thanks from Linda
