Well, my pastor has finally discovered the problems of trying to rely
on alkaline batteries for the w/l mic. We ran out of alkalines this
Sunday and only had some HD carbon batteries. The mic sounded
terrible and quit in the middle of service. He even agreed to go
ahead and get the $60 charger!

I went to Thomas Distributing and discovered that the nice 9.6V, 260
mah Ni-Mh battery is no longer available. OUCH! The best they have
is an 8.4v 200 mah. Searching the web all I find is more of the
same. I did find a
8.4v 260 mah at onlybatteries.com, but I would prefer to have a full
9.6v. Anybody have a source for this? Thanks.

http://www.thomas-distributing.com/new-products.htm#9V shows no lack of
9.6v 200 mAh NiMH. I get this feeling that the 260 mAh NiMH never actually
were, and all that we now see is improved truth-in-advertising.



From the experience from the 8.4v at 150mah, the 9.6v @ 200 does not give me
much extra time to work with. The 8.4 lasts 1.5 hours. I need a minimum of
2.5 hours to allow for communion time. Granted, the 1.5 hours is on
"cooked" batteries and we will be getting a proper computer controlled
charger this time : ). Through basic, and admittedly incomplete,
calculations the 8.4v at 260mah *should* give me a much longer life than the
9.6v at 200mah by almost a half an hour. If I can get a 9.4v at 240 I might
settle for that.
