I am a Parkinsons patient from Malaysia travelling in the UK. I arrived on July 28 and am currently staying in Streatham Commons. I had DBS in Dec 2016.
I brought my DBS charging kit and my charger along. Unfortunately, when I tried to charge my DBS battery this morning, The charger battery doesn’t work!
My battery currently is at 50% and it will not last the next 13 days before I go home. Can anyone help me out here?. edited content to remove personal details many thanks.
