Richard Ragon Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Whats longer lasting? A SMQV with double Lithium batteries? Or a 400 series with one of those Ultra batteries? Or is there something else? Just picking other's brains. Thanks, everyone. -Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Karlsson Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I’d say SMQV with Energizer Ultimate Lithiums. Will run about 14 hours at 100mW. If you set them to 50mW, probably even a little longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Justice Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 In my experience, the dual-battery Lectrosonics SM transmitters have been the longest lasting. I don't recall exactly how long it lasts, but I believe the Sennheiser 5212 also goes for 12+ hours, on only a single battery. It appears that there is still room for a manufacturer to create an "all-day" transmitter. Since we have tiny transmitters available to us that last 5+ hours on an NP50 battery, it stands to reason that it would be possible to create a larger size transmitter that could use dense lithium batteries to last all day. Reality shows with large cast counts would really benefit from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codyman Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I've never had anything run longer than an SMQV. I routinely get 8+ hours on NiMH batteries with them and lithiums would add considerable run time to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Ragon Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I just rented 12 SMQVs for this gig that I'm working on. Hopefully, I won't run out of HD space while recording 12 tracks for 10+ hours!! :) Thank you everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
