I know we have covered this before, but can anyone a place to get a BC6000 battery in the US?  Any models/types in particular?  Looks like Radio Shack sells a Daytona model for $22 but it did not get a good review.

Get in touch wwith your nearest B&O shop. Still readily available as its the same as the one in the BeoCom 1.  Currently about $27USD plus S&H.  The batteries are a Sanyo piece (I believe), but there's a thermocouple in there that allows the phone to monitor charging.

You should use only Sanyo Ni-MH batteries model number 3HR-AAAU as replacements in your Beocom 6000. which are available from your B&O dealer.

You will see a lot of so called replacement batteries which look the same, but are not. The key difference is their MaH (Milli-amp hour) rating which because the Beocom 6000 power adapter is not a regulated power supply means will often not charge correctly, therefore the phone does not work more often than not.

In the event anyone was thinking of purchasing these inexpensive replacement batteries for their BC 1/6000, the good news is that they'll work and charge fully.  The bad news is that if you leave your handset off the charger the battery will go dead in around half a day.  Contrast this to the Sanyo's, which will last up to 6 days depending on condition.

Does anyone have an online source for the original equipment B&O part?  I'm willing to buy OEM, but don't want to have hunt down a dealer.
Also: what did you pay for your battery?  Has anyone disassembled the OEM battery and can post pictures of the difference from the aftermarket models?
