Trust me fellas, Id MUCH RATHER use rechargeables 9v, but Jon/Naiant said specifically told me NOT to use them with my 9v LB because the voltage would be too low. So I buy 8/packs of Energizer MAX 9v at Sams Club every so often, and get 3 shows per 9v, as said above. I HATE buying Alkaline 9vs, but at least I get the MAX capacity out of them doing 3 shows per battery! Its still MUCH BETTER than my old LemoSax. That sucker used 2x9v PER SHOW
Thats one of the reasons I sold it. But Im glad I did, because I like Schoeps>LB[OT] better than my old Schoeps>Sax tapes
