daveinspain Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Been using the new Taylor acoustic I bought on my last visit to Boston and every time I forget to unplug the 1/4 inch jack from the guitar the 9 volt battery gets eaten up… I don't think I have ever seen a rechargeable 9 volt, does anyone have one or can anyone recommend a good one to get… Thanks...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Rechargeable cells should be used with caution in digital devices. This is because such devices are often very sensitive to being under-volted. Normal cells produce 1.5v, or multiple there of. Rechargeable cells, due to the difference in their chemistry, produce 1.2v so a 9v rechargeable battery will actually produce 8.4v. Lithium, however, produces 3.2v per cell so 9.6v is the closest you can get to 9v. All that said, I have no recommendations on brand although I can confirm such things exist.

kidblast Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well then, I guess I'll buy a box of 9 volts.. or,, don't leave that acoustic plugged in buddy!! :P:! Anyway I use em all the time, but not in an acoustic. which if used properly last 6 mo. or better IME. I got the charge pack and several 9 and AA's at Radio Shack. Use them in my wireless, and a few pedals (EQ, Wah pedal). I've noticed tho,, that 9v don't really last long, I had an X2 wireless and it would eat batteries like there was no tomorrow. the wireless I use now is a line 6 Relay which uses 2 AA and those last a very long time between charges. 9vs would last no more than a few hours, and pffft.. done...

daveinspain Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah you are right, I should just unplug it every time I set the guitar down but I tend to forget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Well then, I guess I'll buy a box of 9 volts... That's what I do. Since I ship each of my boosters with a new 9v and also need them for my own gear, I buy them by the box here... http://www.batteriesandbutter.com/9V.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
