Re: Batteries
by Paul Fujimoto Pihl, December 10, 2012
We've been using the Duracell 2400 mAh AA's and they've been great for our mic packs. We track cycles, and once they've been through enough, they get passed down to the wireless beltpacks for clearcom, which seem to be less picky about slightly lower voltages.

I also found some great li-ion 500mAh 9V's. Icubex sells them for cheaper than anyone else I've seen, and they run handheld wireless mics just fine.

We've made a huge dent in our hazardous waste stream as a result.

Also note, many of the big box reno stores will take rechargeable batteries back as hazardous waste. They aren't accepted at most of our hazardous waste depots around here for some reason.
