After a recent spring cleaning, I found that I had somehow lost an MX-980 charging dock. I went crazy trying to find where I put it. Weeks later, I discovered I had accidentally been using it as my MX-990 dock! I never even realized they were compatible. Mystery of the missing MX-980 dock was now solved.

So, the purpose of this thread is to share dock and battery compatiblity information.

Per ChatGPT on looking for replacement NP60 batteries:
------------
When looking for an NP-60 battery with the longest life, you'll want to consider the capacity, which is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh). A higher mAh rating typically indicates a longer battery life. Here are a few options known for their higher capacity:

1. **Wasabi Power NP-60**: Known for its reliability and often comes with a capacity of around 1300mAh, providing a good balance between price and performance.
2. **Power2000 NP-60**: This brand also offers a higher capacity option, usually around 1300mAh, known for its long-lasting performance.
3. **Lenmar DLP003**: Typically rated around 1200mAh, this battery is another solid choice for a longer lifespan.

When choosing a battery, it's also essential to consider the brand's reputation for quality and reliability, as well as user reviews and experiences.

The URC BATT-ER1 should be the OEM model # for these NP-60 sized batteries.
