Originally posted by iamdone I've been very happy with IPower Batteries: http://www.thomasdistributing.com/ip_9V_220.htm and this charger: http://www.thomasdistributing.com/ip-fc-391.htm These batteries have longer life and are the quick charge type. The charger can charge 2 9v batteries at the same time independently. So if one battery is charged 1st, the other keeps charging. It also keeps the batteries fully charged if you keep them in there by sending a smaller charge once they are full. It also works with AA and AAA batteries too. |
Originally posted by Sean H Ironically these were the ones I was looking at. These batteries are the higher volt type that Hirsch always referes to in the Plainviews, that actually have a nominal voltage at 9 or above, right? It does say: "Actual_ 9.4 Volt @ 220mAH_ capacity._ 9.0V Nominal Checks out at 9.4V after charging. (Actual 9V alkaline is 9.2V)" If so, these batteries and the charger you have seem like winners. |
Originally posted by iamdone I figure that even though the Plainview have 9.6v, having the quick charge and 220maH made up the difference of going with a 9.4v instead. I bought 4 batteries so I always 2 charged and ready to swap in my Headsave Transit amp. |
Originally posted by Eagle_Driver In your Headsave Transit amp, that 220mAH battery won't last as long as another brand's 150mAH battery. How? Because the nominal voltage of your "9.4V" 220mAH batteries is only 8.4 volts (Plainview's 9.6V battery actually has a voltage of greater than 10V after charging). |
