I remember 2 models from Fiidelity around 1980/1 called the Battery Saver and the BS2 that recharged the dry cell and it caused a bit of excitement at the time with mentions in the press. My parents bought a BS2 and seemed happy with it.
Unfortunately the circuit eludes me as it does not appear to have appeared in Trader or or R&TV at the time.
