Lfalex v1.1 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Just bought some Energiser Ultra 9v (PP3) batteries. They're £2.65 at Morrisons. [size=6][color="#FF0000"]BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE![/color][/size] Those of you with more than 2 active instruments might find this a good offer, as might those of you running 18v, 27v or 36v active systems, wireless units, pedals, tuners (and smoke alarms!!)

Veils Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Life would be so much easier if we didn't need batteries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most gigs (except the outdoor ones) are in the dark, solar power is out, too. Realistically, the EBS idea of "phantom powering" FX pedals and Active EQs from their amps is the only alternative.

Alpha-Dave Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've just bought 10 lithium PP3s, which are meant to be better than Duracel for £15 inc P&P.

BigRedX Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Many thanks for letting us know this. I don't have a local Morrisons, but I persuaded a work colleague who does to get me 10. Should see me through to the end of this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
