Members mdd30 Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've been thinking about getting some rechargeable batteries for my X2 xdr95 wireless. Has anyone else tried any out on it? I was thinking Lithium, but the manual says that the battery meter is only accurate if using alkaline. I change the battery before every show anyway, but it gets a little pricey after awhile.

Moderators ThudMaker Posted January 26, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2009 I've only used rechargeables in mine. They aren't the regular old energizer rechargeables, though. I got these at a battery store and they put out more juice. They work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RSBro Posted January 26, 2009 Members Share Posted January 26, 2009 It's the same concept as having rechargeable wireless IEM units from Shure or Sennheiser that fit into a base, so should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators ThudMaker Posted January 27, 2009 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2009 Here's a page link with the battery info 230 mAh versus say an Energizer rechargeable, which is really a 150 mAh 7.2v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted January 27, 2009 Members Share Posted January 27, 2009 I use Energizer AA NiCads in my Shure unit.I would not think it should be a problem for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look pretty attractive - does your X2's battery meter still work with them, and how many hours of playing do you get from a fully charged battery??? I'm currently getting around 5 hours from a Durcell Ultra - which will cover one 3 set show, plus a little - at a cost of $2.50-$3 each... I really don't mind paying that to have a worry-free gig, as I figure it to be a business expense, just like replacing strings - but having a more cost effective, more environmentally solution wouldn't be the worst thing ever... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the one that was part of the package deal with my little digital camera. That was to charge the AAs, but it also has a pair of hookups for the 9V. Works like a charm for me.

Yup, that's what I meant. Good to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
