Great find.  Regular Duracell coppertops are 500mah.  Finally an effective alternative.

HOLY SHIT those are pricey :( I am running a new LB(OT) with a single 9v tray. I hated using (2) 9v batts with my old lemosax, so I may def look into these as long as they last a few years with a good charger ;) got a link to a kickass 9v charger for these ???

i was searching for chargers today and didn't come across anything that was too exciting.  several from which to choose with similar specs.  i only use 9v batteries with my B18 phantom modules and standard 9v batteries will keep my AKG 451s powered for a many, many hours.  it would take years to recoup my investment in the Beachtek rechargeables.  but if i used a lot of 9v batteries i'd probably give these a try.

Yeah, I am waiting on my KCY LB and KCY cable and then I'm going to see how long (1) 9v alkaline battery lasts before I go buying rechargeable 9vs ;)
