this was great info for me. i was over my churches AV ministry and I'm also one of the musicians but the minister of music didn't like all the time i had to spend before each service making sure our system was set for worship. So they brought on a guy to take over the ministry but he wasn't sold on the idea of going to rechargeable batteries when we up graded our Audio system. this came to a head this pass sunday when we only had batteries for 8 of our 13 wireless mics. now everyone's on board and i was asked to "make it so" this week. i think my pastor's a star track fan...lol thanks for the info!
I have a comfort smart charger for my Ansmann batteries. Can I leave the batteries in the charger between Sundays. Also how do you keep them went they aren't on the charger? Do you do the rubber band in a plastic bag thing?
Thank you for your video. I’m in search for a starter pack for my church too. It’s been 6 years now and I’m wondering if you can recommend and upgraded version of the pack in this video? Your assistance would be truly appreciated 🙏🏽
We switched to 2500mah Tenergy AA's about 6 months ago and we've saved hundreds of dollars and lots of waste. As long as you go for a high capacity AA, you should be good to go. We've never had an issue, you just have to be sure to put them back on the charger when you're done.
If you use Shure mics, you'll want the blue slimline 2850 mah batteries. Not sure low discharge fit the shures. We've saved mucho on batteries the last 4 years. 22 months is the warranty on the Slimlines. $15 for a 4 pack. Some folk use Eneloop cells. David Schliep at Horizon Battery is great to deal with
Hey Dave, nice video. I'll share this with my tech guy. We tried rechargeable once, and got a bad taste, but they were just Walmart stuff. Maybe a video running through a detailed look at your Sunday schedule from rehearsal to close, would be good. And lastly, I would recommend setting your white balance first before filming and not using auto, the background was changing temperature most of the video, not a complaint just a heads up.
Great video! Very informative but, if you really want to build your subscription base, some links would be greatly appreciated. That would make it seem more professional and of course helpful. Blessings
Rechargeable cells have a stable voltage output by design, which can actually be bad. If a device can take primary single use cells, it should operate across a range of voltages that those have. With a constant voltage you cannot monitor the charge level. It is possible theoretically with fine electronics that good battery chargers have. We have MiPro microphones, they may show 4 bars with completely fresh cells (1.4 volts), then stay on 3 bars for most of the time (1.25 V), then turn off. It is better if there is only one person managing the batteries, and he knows which ones have been charged and when. We had another person pushing for disposable cells, and he often left his batteries uncharged. To maximize the cycles you want to use a "smart" charger, select less than top capacity cells (~2100 mAh), select a lower current or longer charge time and "marry" the cells that go into the same microphone to get their capacity to equalize, and put a label around them (if it doesn't make it hard to extract them). The cells should not get hot during charging.
Ansmann are still solid and the one number choice for so many top-shelf productions and tours. That said, we’ve been using just Amazon rechargeables at this new church for the past two years, and they have been surprisingly good.
@@practicalworship Thanks. We are using the Sennheiser 500 G4 units with their rechargeable batteries but they only last a little over 2hrs most of the time. Looking to get longer lasting batteries. I'll need to do more research on what(if any) might work correctly with the Sennheiser charging units.
Very good review. I'd add one point and that's don't use cheap chargers, spend a bit more and buy quality as you are with the batteries. Cheap chargers cut off once one of batteries reaches capacity, but the others can be less than half full. Instead spend a relatively little more (Ansmann's Powerline 4 Pro as a minimum) so you can charge each battery to capacity.
PS: Ansmann was who we were recommending at my last place of employment when talking about rechargeable batteries, for alkaline batteries we always recommended staying with Energizer or Duracell. In my opinion it's never worth the risks of buying cheap batteries, rechargeable or traditional.

They're great so far. we bought 2 energy 16 chargers and 24 of the max e pro AAs.

9 volt battery question: Are you using Li-ion, NiMH, NiZn ? I use a Shure PSM 200 IEM System

Honestly, the rechargeables from the Amazon brand are pretty legit. We’ve been using them for the past five years at the church I’m at now.
@@practicalworshipThat’s helpful, thank you very much for responding too. 🙏🏽
Hi dave... very insightful... thank you...so Dave how can I get one???

It means that rechargeable AA batteries are save for wireless mic?

My church uses a bunch of rechargeable batteries except their by a bunch of different brands like energizer
Not all rechargeables are created equal... just be careful.
Very insightful! Thanks!! :-)

Any updates on the Ansmann batteries? (Long term usage)

Personally yes, but I'm not involved in a Church Technical Ministry and I'm retired from the A/V industry.

Wont your god recharge your batteries for free? All that power in his hands, and he cant or wont recharge a 9v battery. WEAK.
God is more interested in recharging our spiritual hearts, but free batteries would be cool too, I guess... ;)
