Professionals who depend on batteries every day— from medical to law enforcement to performing arts—just can’t say enough great things about Duracell Procell batteries. Frankly, we’re not surprised. These professional users have a great deal riding on battery performance, and once they learn of the reliability, performance and cost savings they experience with these professional batteries—not to mention how much easier it makes their jobs—it’s only natural to want to pass along their rave Duracell Procell review. 

Check out the stories of users who have posted a Duracell Procell review:

“Duracell Procell AAs are the most reliable battery that I can find when looking to power our ten wireless microphones every Sunday mornings. Having to continually power wireless microphones week after week can become quite pricey but between the long lasting capability of Duracell Procell batteries and the affordable prices at Medic Batteries it has helped us stay within our budget.”

“We purchase ProCell 9V batteries on an ongoing basis. We use these trustworthy batteries in our wireless microphones because we must have 100% up time.”

“These Duracell Procell batteries are fantastic! We use them in a worship setting, powering our Sennheiser wireless handheld and beltpack format microphones. We generally get anywhere from 4 to 8 hours of life from a pair of these batteries.”

“Duracell Procell 9 Volt Alkaline Battery 72/Case (PC1604) - As an Irrigation and Landscaping Supply Company, we started selling the Procell after several years of positive customer feedback and proven field application performance. We recommend it to our customers upon purchase of Irrigation controllers (residential, commercial and most specially institutional satellite based ones) as they have provided stable programming storage, very few data corruption cases, and less call-back for our contractor clients. This product has eliminated a substantial amount of unnecessary product support issues caused by unreliable memory back-up batteries, resulting in reduced product warranty cost both for us and the manufacturers of the products we sell. We've previously stocked Panasonic Commercial 9V Alkalines. It proved to be a disaster - our customer returns/exchange rate rose along the same type of products across different brands. It took us months for us and our product manufacturers to figure out it was battery related. And longer to assure our customers that it wasn't the units, but the batteries. The Energizer Commercial 9V Alkalines proved to be quite a very competent replacement. Very stable voltage rates, long-lasting, reliable performance but at a higher price tag. However, complaints on the Duracell Procell were non-existent if any, it's about equal quality-wise at a better price, so it seemed a logical choice.”

“I was looking for Duracell PC1604 batteries and this is how I found your site. I already knew of  the batteries but the places we purchased previously closed.

I started surfing the web for the Duracell PC1604 batteries and I found other sites with them, so I started comparing sites and Medic Batteries won. I was very pleased with the price and shipping. Thank you! I’m looking forward to future orders.”

Stage Crafters Youth Theatre - Medic Batteries Customer for 7+ Years

Wendy Scott-Koeth, Director and Coordinator at Stage Crafters Youth Theatre, has been a Medic Batteries customer for more than 7 years. In the video below, she talks about her favorite place to buy bulk alkaline batteries (Thanks, Wendy!) and why she relies on us.

Price, of course, is a huge factor for Wendy when she buys bulk alkaline batteries for her non-profit organization. That's one of the reasons why she chooses to buy bulk alkaline batteries. Her organization puts on shows that often require almost 600 reliable batteries for body mics and the array of sound equipment. She prefers Medic Batteries for the theatre because we sell only the freshest batteries, which means she can count on the reliability of our batteries. Our bulk alkaline batteries are guaranteed fresh, which means you never have to worry about having them “conk out” as Wendy puts it. Watch her video testimonial below.

When it comes to church wireless microphone batteries, everyone has their own preferences. Do people prefer alkaline, rechargeable, or lithium batteries for their church wireless microphone systems?

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.

Rechargeable 9 Volt Batteries for Wireless Microphones

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.
