WrineX Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi i wondered about the following. - what battery's are people using ? - What do you expect in terms hours of use, please let me know Zaxcom or Lectro - Rather have expensive high capacity ones last longer or be able to use those high capacity ones more often at the cost of some minutes ? comparison durability vs - capacity/minutes you can use it 4.20 volt is fully charged! , The next number (300-500) is the amount you can charger them Next number is how saturated it is ! 4.20 300–500 100% 4.15 400–700 90–95% 4.10 600–1,000 85–90% thing above 4.20 volt means charged to the MAX , most chargers will keep 4.2 as a benchmark but less is better for battery health. a common Digibuddy OTB or Sound Guys Solution and my older chargers will charge up to 4.15-4.20 you get almost a full charge. lets say 95-100. i am experimenting with chargers that will only do 90-95% 4.15 volt , this does means your expensive high capacity battery like the ones from FUJI or Lectrosonics will last almost 100-200 charges more ! if a np50 will last 4 hours that means a MAXIMUM difference of 12-24 minutes. at the moment im testing this as well. since values might be rather different depending on the amount of current drawn. To bad LECTROSONICS has a 404 on their battery chart page...... so i dont know how much they pull so i could make a better estimation, and Zaxcom does not mention power draw anywhere i could find. (if someone does please let me know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
