Febs: P2R will not do so well with rechargeable 9v batteries. Your battery life will probably go from 8-10 hours with a standard alkaline down to about 1-2 hours with a rechargeable.
Our higher end PSM600 and PSM700 systems have been known to chew through rechargeables in less than 20 minutes. They also go through the cheapo Walgreen's standard 9v in less than an hour.
I use PSM600 in my band, we usually buy either regular energizer/duracell or the energizer e2 / duracell ultra (or whatever) by the brick (30 or more) so that it's less than a buck a battery. We go to Home Depot or Costco.
Also, for shows we always use new batteries, then we reuse those used batteries from shows at practices. That way we're covered for shows and we have a nice reserve stock of "B-stock" batteries for practice.
