I’d like to use rechargeable batteries in my wireless mics. What kind do you recommend?
We’ve not had success with rechargeable “9 volt” batteries. They just don’t have the capacity needed to run a transmitter for more than about an hour. For systems using AAs, the NiMH batteries used for digital cameras can work well. If you use rechargeable batteries, avoid surprises in the middle of a show by keeping battery sets matched and by tracking usage. This is important because a simple voltage check won’t tell you how much capacity is left, as it will with conventional batteries. A few systems are designed to use rechargeables. Please call Wendy at Ext 108 for further information.
