  1. 1. When do you change the batteries?

    • Before every show
      60
    • Every other show (assuming under normal circumstances, they last two shows)
      24
    • When the battery meter tells me they are going flat
      11
    • When they actually go flat!
      0

We do corporate stuff here and normally change the batts after every other event.

We use Duracell Plus.

 

 

8 x Sony ECM-66B lapels

4 x WRT-807 Hand helds

 

To be honest, the Duracells have more than enough power for baby toys after they have been in the mics! :rolleyes:

Using the Sennheiser SK3063 packs and ProCell's, I change every show.

 

Partly because I too was told a long time ago that losing a gig was never worth saving the money on batteries; and also due to the fact the 3000 series horse through the batteries far quicker than the Evo series.

 

By the end of a 3.5 hour am-dram especially, even the brand new ProCell's are beginning to show little or nothing on the Rx meter (8 Bars?) and half on the Tx display (3 LED's).

Even half used ones go after about an hour of rehearsals.

If I've got extra Evo's hired in, then they get 2 shows no probs and then I change, but they could probably go 3.

The old Trantec's can run a 9v for about a fortnight!!
