Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 08:01 am What kind of batteries do you guys recommend for an Ace? I was thinking of rechargeables with some alkaline back ups in my bag. Report this Post to the Staff

SeatedNut Pillar of the Community United States 2797 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 08:20 am Tim Absolutely! Get the lithium batteries and a plug-in charger. At the price they are right now, I'd just get two sets of lithium. These are in no way like the old Ni-Cad rechargeable batteries. They don't develop that "recharge memory" the old Ni-Cads were famous for. Lithiums will probably last all day unless you're constantly on the target ID. I use a set of these in my White's and just pull 'em out at the end of the day for a recharge. Report this Post to the Staff

We hit the sales when we see them and stock up. I have not thought about rechargeables I will have to see how they work.... Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 12/30/2008 11:38 am - They do not die off slowly like AA...they just die - Their life expectancies are severally diminished compared to a AA - The longer you keep charging them they less they eventually hold. Been doing sound for 15 years and have Never had a good experience. It's more of a industry known standard to never use em for most of these reasons. Report this Post to the Staff
