Sharp DV-L70U 7" Portable DVD Player
Comparison of batteries: life, bloodloss, &amp; Cost
I do agree that the sharp is a superior unit to the Sony, Pioneer, &amp; Panasonic, though not by as much as most, but be aware that the battery life is definately shorter than the panasonic and pioneer.<br />Even more  annoying is how fast the Sharp's battery bleeds energy after about two  hours, so it's almost pointless to carry more than one battery.<br />I bought  extra batteries direct for my Pioneer and my Sharp, and with S&amp;H the  Pioneer's came to 152.00 and the Sharp came to 310.00. That's right, two  hundred and seventy-five dollars for a new battery.<br />Lastly, the Sharp has  a silly non-standard adapter plug, which makes third parties jobs very  difficult; A serious ramifacation of this for frequent flyers is that xtend  makes airplane power plugs for both the Panasonic and the Pioneer, but not  the Sharp. Just something to think about.
