pvanstry Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I have to swap my Comtek batteries 9v. I have been using ipower 9v batteries so far. I have to change them now, they are really old. What have you guys using? I want a full day of use out of them.... ThanksPascal Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Flaitz Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I use iPowers 9v 520mah and usually get at least two full days on a charge in my Comteks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Perkins Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I found out the hard way that Lithium 9v batts don't fit in 216s (bummer)! So iPower is prob the best bet, with a few Alks as backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Newer 700 mAh Ipowers.... Work great..all day long... I charge them up after each days work...@$20 ea... I still have some old 520s that I bought in 2013 that are still working fine.. Not for you Pascal, but for others... I also charge DAILY for each one used ... Don't waffle on that... Recharge or throw away alkaline, charge daily. When you factor in the time to get them in and out, charge them, buy them, buy the chargers, and replace them and the chargers from time to time it works out the same... but... better for the planet... That's the sales point to them.. If anyone ever asks (nobody has yet) That is MY spiel... and...it's all true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnotsMedia Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 iPowers are the way to go. 520's last two days in Comteks, I also have some 700's but use them for HM/ UM400 use. Using the 7's you should easily get 3 days out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afewmoreyears Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 With 700s at the same price as the 520s... if you are going to buy them, buy the 700s... I don't push it with them, I for one don't want people walking up to me while working holding a comtek with a dead battery... why go there... charge nightly...or... as soon as it is comfortable to do so...

Philip Perkins Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 +1. I want to hand the damn things out and then not think about them until the Wrap Comtek Search Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPSharman Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I use various vintages of ipower, and they all still last a full day in 216 receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
