 |
|
For about 6 months I have been using a Duracell multi-charger off our 240 volt mains supply for both AA and 9v Energizer batteries. The 9v battery doesn't seem to last well in my electro-acoustic guitar and the AAs last no time in my Logitech chordless mouse.
Anyone else experienced problems with this sort of thing. Any recommendations for a better solution for renewables?

I gave up on my Logitech wireless mouse because of the battery issue and went back to the HP one (with a tail) that came with my pc.
I don't have a guitar

Are you sure this isn't just a neko thing?

Once a battery light charger turns off, the battery starts to loose voltage, 5- 10% per day , so timing is important, or if you know you will need it, reseat the battery and you 'll see the charger back on
trickle charging is better for battery life, ( slow charging) as power charging burns them out fatser
all batteries have x-amount of recharges, so check the specs on a given brand |

I had a normal PP3 in my Ovation for 28 years before I had to change it (is that a record?), so I'd advocate normal batteries over rechargables in guitars.
Then again more modern guitars may use more power.
