John Blankenship Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 " the suspect SMQV will definitely be taking a trip into Lectro for service, " I'm sure glad we discussed this... Apparently several other people are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronquirk Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I find either the enerizer or duracell lithium batteries work the best, 6 hrs plus at 100mw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wynne Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 So I called and spoke with Rene at Lectrosoncis about my battery life issue looking for an RA on my smqv and he asked me to inspect the battery compartment door to see if it was flush, clean and the thumbscrew was turned tight. He said they occassionally get transmitters sent to them with this same issue at times only to have them test fine, finding one of these too be the issue. On visual inspection the door was flush and all was clean so I decided to do a second battery test with a quarter more turn tightness then what I usually do. Naturally my instinct is not to over tighten so a quarter more turn made it about as tight as you could by hand and did another battery test and clocked it right under 13 hours which was an improvement of 2 hours since my test a couple days ago ! Did some of you say you we're getting the full 14.5? My test was 100mw, using right out of the box Enegizer Ultimate Lithium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryF Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Do you have the included silver grease for the thumbscrew or is your unit before we started including it? Larry F Lectro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 Interesting-I've just noticed one of my smqv has been getting significantly shorter run time. I thought it might be a bad batch of batteries and I haven't had a chance to do a full test yet - I wonder if this might be related. did you do the silver paste to both of them that you are comparing?

Larry F Lectro I don't believe so, I'm assuming this is something I should apply? Can I get it at a local hardware store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Norflus Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 did you do the silver paste to both of them that you are comparing? Just got some - I will apply to both and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's stuff on the market that has no silver in it except in the brand name. Best, Larry F Lectro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryF Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 There is very little difference in run time between 50 and 100 mW. Regards Larry F Lectro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoluSon Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Mine will arrive in 6 weeks. I'll do some further testing then to find the best rechargeables for these transmitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
