Members edremy Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 My bass has active pups and despite not getting anywhere near the playtime as my guitar it went through a battery in something like a month and a half. Any tricks to preserve them? Does turning off the master volume or unplugging the cord matter? I'd hate to have to pull the battery out every time I play just to get more than a month out of one.

Members mrbrown49 Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 Unplugging will preserve the battery. They are wired like an effects pedal. When a plug is in the input the circuit is completed and power starts to flow. You should be getting at least a few months of play time on a battery.

Members Belva Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 That's a few months of actual play time. Or up to 2 years actual life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted December 12, 2010 Members Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yeah, leave it unplugged. I think the number they throw out is something like 2,000 hours of play time per battery... Should get most people through a year or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
