HEADS UP!

[Lfalex v1.1]

Just bought some Energiser Ultra 9v (PP3) batteries.

They're £2.65 at Morrisons.

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!!)

Life would be so much easier if we didn't need batteries!

[Waldo]

Thankyou very much, I shall be heading there today!

Agreed, but I don't see the "Trevor Bayliss wind-up bass" catching on!
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.

I've just bought 10 lithium PP3s, which are meant to be better than Duracel for £15 inc P&P.

They arrived today and looked a little dusty (must have been sat somewhere for a while), but they're functioning fine and I just put one in my bass, I'll write again when it dies.

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.

Well I finally had to replace one of these today, they've lasted between 1&1/2 to 2 times the length of a duracell, and at half the cost. Heartily recommended.

+1 - Still on my first one after 2 months of daily practice.
