Yesterday night i have fully charged my bluetooth handsfree DS980. And when today morning i tried to switched it on, it shows the 'sony ericsson' name on display - normal startup but then went off. Now everytime i try to switch it on, the same name appears and goes off. I plugged charger thinking the battery isnt charge properly, it works good. The battery is showing fully charged with charge sign just like in mobiles. But as soon as you unplugged the charger, it goes off. Though i have fully charged the battery yesterday evening.

So i guess there is something wrong with the battery only. If anyone knows how to get the extra battery for that as i had been to shop couple of months back and they told me that bluetooth handsfree are not repaireable. Or anyone can tell me how to open that. I know how to take out the face-plate.

Any help will be appreciated as right now i am not in a position to take new one. And using handfree comes in my basic need.

How much is the battery cost? My HBH-DS980 gets completely discharged(empty) after 3 hours of continuous playing.

That's pretty much as much as I got out of mine when I still had it.

Hmmm.. But the offcial specifications say it is capable of streaming for approx. 6 hours.

Thank you idumbakumar for your reply. Actually after opening the face plate, there is no screws, so i guess it is all pressed down. But i couldnt resist myself to explore it and i found a battery-orange in colour after peeling off the company sticker. Then i try to open with force with screw-driver and one side of the plastic cover had come out slightly. so i use credit card to take it out completely, just like you open your k850i. but i managed to open 90% but 10% i couldn't open. As i am afraid to give more pressure that could break something and i have to let go my ds980 to heaven.
When i put everything down again, i found that i have damaged the Next/previous song changer button, but i guess it is not placed properly. And one main, play/pause button's small knob is broken. I think tomorrow i will stick it back and pack the whole thing together and give it to sonyericsson service center. Let hope everything come back to normal.

I have not used it continuously but my battery runs for a day with heavy usage of music listening, calling.

@ceaser2008, But what if you're watching a movie? It starts giving battery low tone after 3 or 3.5 hours...

i am not using it for watching the movie as on my k850i, if i listen the movie from ds980, it would lag terribly.
