Whit Norris Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hey everyone, John Cyphers from Batteries Plus has just given myself and a few other Atlanta sound folks some new batteries to check out. AA's is what I received to check out. My test were very basic I carried 3 transmitters around with me all day unit the batteries died. I'm hoping Larry Fisher and the gang in New Mexico has already tested them and may have more info on these than I do. My test were just on SMQV's with a Sanken COS 11 attached. SMQV 250mw 6:10 minutes SMQV 100mw 9:30 minutes SMQV 50mw 10:20 minutes A note that the power did turn RED for the last several hours or more of each transmitter. John does not have a price at this time but it will be coming soon. He did send me the specs which I am attaching to this post. Whit QU1500_US_UL.pdf As I here from others who had samples to test, maybe they will post here also or I will add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I bought a 20 pack of the Quantum last year to use for a shoot with my 302. They seemed impressive, but no detailed run-time account. Certainly lasted longer than standard alkaline batt.s. As I recall they were (and still are I beleive), $13.99/20 pack at the NY/NJ Shoprite grocery stores. Don't have any idea what that works out to in terms of mA/h per $.

Whit Norris Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes I guess I forgot that Larry had already tested them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Whit, Thanks for the input and glad to see your results track the previous tests. We are shipping all transmitters, except the single battery SMv, with the Quantum cells. They are very cost effective and I would like to see more people using them. We are seeing about a 15% premium over standard alkalines. This is a real bargain. YMMV. Best Regards, Larry Fisher Lectrosonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wynne Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Those are impressive run times. Thanks for posting Whit and Larry ! I recently picked up a pack from Gotham in Atlanta, good to know what to expect out of the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I've been using them in my ERX's now for a few months..I love them and they are SO cheap! Bought a 30 pack at Costco for $16. I've gotten more than 2 days constant run time out of them in the ERX.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldmixer Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 When you say 2 days, do you mean 48hrs or two 10 hr work days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Radlauer Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 2 working days.. Lately its been 12's! But I'm confident enough in them that I don't bother to turn them off at lunch or between locations.. Its also 110+ degrees and they hold up very well..
