[MattD]

Yes, they have a bunch. If the size you need is not in the store, they have more online, I believe.

[Skydogj]

is there a part number?
I am about to be out by the local Radio shack. I figured I could check....
but it is a mom and pop store and the service is kinda slack.

thanks MattD

will this work with a sonosax?

I would kind of like to know the same thing. Woodruff, I have been looking at the Energizer 9v Lithium Ion batteries and you can get about 6 on ebay for about $20. From what I have read you can get about 10+ hours on one set. Good for festies I suppose. I'm gonna get some for the Nashville Music Classic coming up, otherwise I'm just gonna use regular 9v alkalines I believe. Believe it or not, but Lowe's has pretty good prices on batteries. I got 8 9v's for about $15.

Please flip back to the first page of this thread for a foto -- this is a 9 volt rechargable lithium ion battery that's about the size of a paperback book -- it is NOT the type of battery that would fit IN a sax.

I know. I would like to know if it would power the Sax or not, for a possible alternative. I was also merely giving a suggestion for extra power on the Sax. Looks like your battery would last about as long as a pair of 9v L-ion's. I guess the only benefit is that you can recharge your pack. Sorry for the thread jack.

Have you put your battery under a load to see how long it lasts?

[dnsacks]

Sorry 'bout that -- this battery is a 5.3 ah (5,300mah) battery, under the load required by a ua5, it lasts around 8-10 hours.  I suspect a pair of these would power a 'Sax for a REAL long time.  http://data.energizer.com/batteryinfo/application_manuals/9v_lithium.htm shows the energizers to be around 1,200mah apiece.  So, if 10 hours per set of energizers, figure 30 hours per charge easily from a pair of these.

i love the Energizer Lithium 9v.  i consistantly get about 13hrs. on my mv100 (85mA draw) on a pair w/phantom power on.

when the "Low Battery" light comes on the mv100, i save the used 9v (discharged to roughly 7.5v) and i use three of them for the battery box i made. it holds three 9v totalling 22.5v, so i can use the DC plug for the mv100, which accepts 18-24v.  for an all-day festival stealthing, i'll run the battbox.

actually, I think they have one that is much shorter and only 1 Female end, and ready for solder on the other.
but either will work.



also, My local Walmart had about 7 of these units in stock...and I live in Bumfreak as well.

wal-mart for the most part doesnt control what items they get, the 'lead' walmart send them to every store in hopes they will sell them all, and mostly they do :)so each walmart has no control what they get, its called POS, and they just ship it(can ya tell i used to work there )

so even the bumfreak wal-marts SHOULD have them, FWIW

I bought one of these DVD battery packs today at Walmart.
It looks like a great back saver, since I've been carrying lead around to power my Mini-Me and DAT decks.

i told ya

[Chuck]

I'm psyched!
I want to hook it up after it charges and do tests to see how long it'll run all my stuff.

How long will this thing last? How many re-charges will it take.
Should I really store it in the fridge?

[caymanreview]

i havent been storing it in my fridge, as ive been using mine quite reguarly. but if i dont have a show for a week or two i will most likely store mine in the fridge at full charge. i always stored my valence in the fridge when i had it

i cant remember the current draw of the mme for the life of me... hook it up and run it!
