Hi there! I've not come up against these problems and as you know I'm sure I own a Zoom H1.
thankfully the battery life with the H1 is about 10 hours so I have an idea of how much power I have left at any one time when I use the unit. I have a set of 6 rechargeable batteries set aside for the H1 and they're of the Sanyo type, they don't have the memory problems that the older type of rechargeable batteries have plus you can have them fully charged and pull them out when you need them, they're guaranteed to hold 80% of their charge over a 12 month period which for rechargeable batteries is pretty impressive, they take about 4 hours to charge on the charger which came with them so I've plenty of battery power in reserve given that the Zoom H1 only takes one battery at a time. Now I'm looking for an external USB battery pack of some description that can be charged and that plugs into the Zoom, that would be good as I wouldn't have to then keep changing batteries but this solution will do for the moment.
