[QUOTE="Paul Lewendon, post: 215996, member: 13612"] Yes I agree about the recharging and missing batteries, but the big negative on rechargeable batteries is that the AA's are rated at 1.2 volts, so even at full charge a little bit above that, they are below the voltage of a brand new regular one which says 1.5, but generally is more like 1.8, and the wireless mics say batteries are low at about 1.2 volts. I have some things at home, like a electric razor that a fully charged battery barely works in it because of that. I'm sure with technology these days they could make them have a higher voltage, or units able to operate at a lower range. Same thing with 9 volt. We go through alot of batteries because of this. It's always a thorn in my side when a handheld goes missing, because not only are they worth close to $500 Canadian for just that piece, but you also have to find that frequency range. Depending on how it goes missing, I think people don't realize the price, either not knowing they are so expensive, thinking it's no big deal, or do know and it's an easy pocket or up the sleeve score, more bang for the buck as they say. With that one missing piece, a $1500 unit is suddenly useless. Don't get me started on the money down the drain because of the cel phone companies "buying" the frequencies the wireless mics use making them illegal or sketchy to use if you were unlucky enough to have that frequency block.
