Subject: RE: Tech: rechargeable batteries for guitars etc ?
........anyway..

wouldn't it be so much more convenient and reliable

to just plug a guitar into the mains power supply

and leave the battery powering the active pickups/EQ

to recharge over-night..

or a least a few hours before each gig..



.. and as much as i'm reading your replies with keen interest..

i'm not very techno-smart regarding electrics theory..

so am getting a bit confused over 9v rechargeable batteries being

truly 9v or not..


[got to admit i've never bothered with rechargeables before..
only ever bulk bought standard disposables..
but now me and the mrs are trying to be more 'eco-friendly'
so i've just blown my xmas woolworths gift voucher on a bunch of rechargeable batteries]


.and.. right now in front of me, i've got a UK purchased 9v rechargeable
which i would have expected to be able to use use in most active circuit guitars;

printed on this battery is..

" 9v 140mAH... Standard charge: 14mA for 14 hours / Quick charge 28 mA for 7 hours.."


so will it be fit for its intended purpose .. or not..!!??
