9V batteries

[bobafrettTK523]

On my last trooping adventure I used standard duracell 9 volt batteries to power my amp for the sound. They last maybe an hour to an hour and a half. Is that normal? Does anyone know of some brand that might last longer? It's cool being able to talk to people but annoying if they go out every hour. <p></p><i></i>

I usually stick the batteries on my tounge when I go trooping. The fun lasts for hours! <p></p><i></i>

Mine last a few hours, but i pay the extra buck and get the duracell ultra. <p></p><i></i>

I get ultra as well, but they aren't duracell, they say something like sanitary napkin on them or something like that.<br><br> <p><br><br><center><table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><p align="right"><strong><font color="#FF0000">TK604</font></strong><br> <strong>Midwest Garrison<br> <a href="http://www.tk604.com">www.tk604.com</a><br> Stormtrooper Legion</strong></td> <td width="50%"><a href="http://www.tk604.com"><img src="http://www.tk604.com/pics/tk604banner.gif" width="266" height="83" alt="http://www.tk604.com" align="left" border="0" hspace="1" vspace="1"></a></td> </tr></table></center></p><i></i>

Hook the motorcycle battery under your back plate, it will power you for hours! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

You will be detained. A single 9volt should last for hours thou, you can get two of them and put them in series so the amp will last longer. :) <p><Br>""Traveling through hyper-space ain't like dusting crops, boy!"<Br>""Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid."- Han Solo <a href="http://www.geocities.com/takevintransam/index.html" target="_blank"><Br>TK669 website<Br></p><i></i>

Forget the 9volt.<br>I have mine hooked up to an extension cord. <p>"You know, sometimes I amaze even myself." Han Solo</p><i></i>

[bobafrettTK523]

I tried that, but it was like being on a leash. Evry time I reached the end of the cord, my helmet would jerk to one side! I was considering solar panels. <p></p><i></i>

[TS826]

A gasoline powered generator<br>(found at many hardware stores)<br>should be a decent alternative to the<br>extention cord problem.<br>It may cost a little more, but is worth it.<br> I've found that it will run many fans at once,<br>for a lot longer than a 9v battery.<br> You may however need to add some padding, to the armor,<br>to reduce vibration. <p></p><i></i>

are yall using 9V's with the radio shack amp or what? mine's AA's <p></p><i></i>

I have no idea if this will work, but... here goes...<br><br>At American Science and Surplus in West Chicago, they have some Energizer rechargable 9V ni-cads (I think) for $4.95 each.<br><br>I bought 4 - I already have a charger. I'm going to try to charge them up, and see how (if) they work. If so, they are supposedly good for 1000 charges. I can use them for voice amp and fans, and never have to buy 9V batts.<br><br>My disclaimer - it's a surplus store - I have NO IDEA how well those batts work, or even if they work at all. I figured I'd take a chance on 'em. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Rob <p></p><i></i>
