what are the best 9 volts out there in everyone's opinion? both single-use and/or rechargeable?
Quote from: boojum on May 22, 2010, 11:30:12 PMConsumer Reports said Kirkland (Costco) alkalines were the best alkilines. It might be worth a cruise by the library to see what the results of CR tests indicate. One test is worth a thousand opinions.We use them at the theatre I run sound for and they are truly great batteries for the price.

Has anyone tried the NiZn batteries? Looks very promising....

But for general taper applications, they are inferior because of lower energy density and lower cycle count compared to NiMH (and certainly compared to lithium). Take a look at the graph, very informative:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery#Table_of_rechargeable_battery_technologies
If I hadn't just bought 8 eneloops (which are great), I'd give them a try, since they put out 1.6v rather than 1.2 from nimh.
The nizn batteries could be great for recorders that are picky about voltage, such as the Tascam dr-2d. If I hadn't just bought 8 eneloops (which are great), I'd give them a try, since they put out 1.6v rather than 1.2 from nimh.
Update: Just had a random "replace battery" message, and shutdown in the D50 after recording for 5 minutes. Fortunately it was just a speaker in a meeting. The batteries were freshly charged and even showed full before starting, and even when I turned the deck off and back on again. The 5 minute file was intact, but obviously missed what I was there for. Not sure I can trust them for a live concert from now on. Anybody else got these and having any issues? Gonna test them in my 09HR for awhile and see how that goes.
