We serve thousands of churches, providing them with the freshest church wireless microphone batteries. We asked our customers what they prefer: alkaline, rechargeable or lithium church wireless microphone batteries?The results:

91.4% Prefer alkaline

4.2% Prefer rechargeables

4.6% Prefer lithium

An overwhelming majority prefers alkaline church wireless microphone batteries. Here is what a few respondents said:

“We have used Alkalines at this point because of the cost of lithiums and the labor required to recharge.”

“We are satisfied with the Duracell Procell - AAs. We use 2 to 8 church wireless microphone packs in each of 3 services each Sunday. Two AAs will usually make it through all three services. Thanks for your good service. You have made us a loyal customer.”

“Alkalines for wireless mic. I would use lithium if I could afford them. Rechargeable have been unreliable in the past.”

How do you know which wireless microphone batteries work best? We talked with Adam Rothwell, Technology Director at CrossWalk Community Church in Williamsburg, Virginia about his experiences with wireless microphone batteries.

Medic: Thanks for helping us out Adam! So what types of wireless microphone batteries does your church use, and how many mics do you have?

Adam: AAs and 9 volts. We have 13 mics available, mostly Shure microphones. 

Medic: Have you ever tried rechargeable wireless microphone batteries?

Adam: We tried them once before, but they couldn’t last the entire 6 hours that we needed them to last on Sundays for our church services. They were depleted towards the end, it was very inconvenient. We are very happy with alkaline wireless microphone batteries.

Medic: When do you replace your wireless microphone batteries?

Adam: We always make sure to have fresh alkaline wireless microphone batteries for the Pastor’s mic every Sunday. When the service is over we use those batteries for things throughout the week like choir practice.

Medic: Great! Thanks again for your time, Adam.

Adam: My pleasure.

The jury is still out on the best rechargeable batteries for wireless mics, making the choice of rechargeable versus disposable batteries difficult for anyone concerned with going green. Consider the following factors when choosing between rechargeable batteries for wireless mics and disposable alkalines.

• Sizes matter. Rechargeable batteries for wireless mics are not always an easy fit as dimensions can vary. Learn more here: Rechargeable 9V Batteries for Wireless Microphones

• Voltage requirements. Many 9V rechargeables produce only 7.2 volts. When selecting a rechargeable battery for wireless mics, Buyer Beware! Hint: A true 9.6 volt rechargeable battery is what you are after when you plan to use 9V rechargeable batteries for wireless mics.

• Manufacturer warnings. Some microphone manufacturers frown upon using 9V rechargeable batteries for wireless mics; they’re more accepting of rechargeable AA batteries.

• Disciplined approach. To make rechargeable batteries for wireless mics pan out for your house of worship, a highly disciplined system is needed. Maintaining the system requires a different mindset than you may be used to.

• Performance issues. Some common problems identified by wireless mic users who have given rechargeables a try are: mics not powering, underpowered mics, and powered mics not transmitting.

• Emergency power. If using rechargeables, you still need some alkalines handy for emergencies. A must! Shop 9V and AA alkaline batteries.

• Apples to apples comparisons. When comparing pricing, make sure to compare the cost of rechargeable batteries for wireless mics to bulk alkalines available from a merchant such as www.MedicBatteries.com , not to retail pricing. Include the cost of chargers, replacement costs, etc, in your calculations.

• Battery tester. This is a must regardless of which batteries you are using. Invest in a high quality tester such as a ZTS Multi Battery Tester. You’ll be amazed at what this device will tell you. Take those batteries that are not up to the task out of the mix before failing at some critical time.

We invite you to share your thoughts on rechargeable batteries for wireless mics in your house of worship. Please share your comments below.

After considering the environmental ramifications and the expense of disposable alkaline batteries, some wireless microphone users are making a move towards rechargeables. We’d like to share a few tips about rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones to guide your decision making and help you choose the right batteries to power your wireless mic.

• Many different rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones are available on the market today, but we find reviews are mixed. Many people are experimenting with rechargeables, but there is no consensus on the best rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones. Duracell Procell alkalines are widely favored as the non-rechargeable option.

• A wrong sized battery may not properly slide into the battery cavity. There may be warranty concerns should the rechargeable battery damage the device. Poor performance may result from a poor fit. Hint: battery size differences are not easily detected by the human eye; they vary in fractions of a millimeter. Rechargeable batteries may also change slightly in size (get bigger) when fully charged. 

• Some microphone manufacturers frown upon using rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones, though they’re more accepting of rechargeable AA batteries. 

• Many consumer-grade 9 Volt rechargeables produce only 7.2 volts. When selecting rechargeable 9 volt batteries for wireless microphones, Buyer Beware! Hint: A true 9.6 volt rechargeable battery is what you are after when you plan to use rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones.

• Two other essential items to invest in: a high quality charger for rechargeable 9 Volt batteries for wireless microphones and a high-end battery tester, such as the ZTS battery load tester.
