If you use alkaline batteries (and you should) you will notice that the batteries maintain a high voltage until nearly their end of life, then they die rather rapidly. Using our AT wireless units, if the battery level drops one bar (out of four) we have about ten minutes until the battery is dead. As such, the voltage is not a good indicator of remaining life, so here's what I do. Begin all Sunday mornings with NEW batteries. Use old batteries for rehearsals only. |

I resent that comment But using them for rehearsals is great, or putting them in a box and offering them for free works well too We use Senny stuff with 3 bar battery indicators. We just put the battery in, and if it reads anything less than 3 bars, we don't use it. The G3 stuff is great because you get to see a battery indicator where your receiver is located (ours is FOH), so if it goes low, we can replace it between services. JF |
