9V is a loose term when it comes to batteries. Some rechargeables read 9.6V when fully charged, other 8.4 or even lower - it depends on the chemistry and the number of cells in series.
I wasn't too sure if rechargeable were a good idea but as I am an infrequent pedal user I thought it might make sense to go for rechargeables. I asked mainly because I have tried a couple of so-called 'high power' 9v rechargeable batteries and although they held charge for a reasonable amount of time the battery itself didn't last that long.
I do have a power brick for those pedals that I can hook it up with but I have two pedals I can't.....one is a Flynn OC44 which I use with virtually every amp and a Langtronics Fuzz Junkie. The Langtronics doesn't have a DC out so a battery is the only option and the Flynn has a negative earth (or is it positive?), anyway it's something like that and means I can't use a standard power brick which is a pain.
Yeah, I checked my two (old) rechargeable batteries with a multimeter and they were both about 8.0 volts so I think they're past their best.
I reckon it may be a case of going with Duracell....I just wondered whether anybody had found a brand of rechargeable that seemed to stay the course and offer reasonable longevity.
Pressed 'post comment' too soon......meant to add that I've just bought a pair!!!!! :0)
