Batteries for Active Electronics???

[Budman68]

Just curious to know what type of batteries everyone uses in their active guitars. Alkaline? Rechargable? Alternate ideas?

I usually use Duracell 9v batteries. But I've never found a big difference between batteries in guitars because they don't suck juice the way, say, effects pedals can.

I don't believe that rechargeable batteries are recommended for guitars, but I could be mistaken about that. In any event, guitar batteries last long enough that I don't think the cost of non-rechargeables is that bad.

Actually, for some reason, ni cad batteries just plain don't work in any of the guitars i've owned with active electronics. *kh-2, EMGs in my ibanezs, and a black explorer*

Duracel and Energizer seem to work pretty good for me [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Especialy with my bass.

Yeah, as far as rechargables I've never tried them but wanted to know what others were using. I'm always tyring to improve!
