copy , copy FWIW

I also have the Maha 9.6 but i think the akaline 9v gets better life.  More reliable.  I also have the Denecke PS-2 and also a sonosax pre running on alkaline rather than the Maha 9.6.  Once the NIMH starts running low it really takes a dive.  I know buying alkalines each time is a $$ but I like the reassurance of getting the show.

Never liked the rechargables when I ran my sax, use ultralife lithiums instead  8)

This is what I've been using to power my SX-M2 for the last 10 months or so:

works great and will power the Sonosax for a long time. Make sure you charge it up before each use. For some reason it doesn't seem to hold a charge as well as my other external Li-on batteries.
