Rechargeable batteries and battery compartments

Rechargeable batteries:

To operate the transmitters, we recommend using the rechargeable bat-

teries BA 60 (for the SKM 6000 handheld transmitter), BA 61 (for the

SK 6000 bodypack transmitter) or BA 62 (for the SK 6212 bodypack trans-

mitter). The rechargeable batteries are available as accessories. These

lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have been especially developed to

achieve the optimum service life and operational reliability for the trans-

mitters.

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries do not have a memory effect and have

a greater power density than primary batteries and NiMh rechargeable

batteries. In addition, the remaining battery life of the transmitters can be

read to the exact minute on the transmitter and receiver.

These rechargeable batteries must be charged only with Sennheiser

L 6000 (BA 60, BA 61 and BA 62) and L60 (BA 60 and BA 61) chargers.

Battery compartments:

With the B60 battery compartment (for the SKM 6000 handheld transmit-

ter) and B61 battery compartment (for the SK 6000 bodypack transmitter)

that are also available as accessories, you can use AA batteries and re-

chargeable AA batteries. However, the battery life of the transmitters is

shorter than the BA 60 and BA 61 rechargeable battery life and depends

heavily on the quality, capacitance and age of the batteries or rechargeable

batteries used.

The remaining battery life can only be roughly estimated from the battery

icon and a specific battery life cannot be displayed. At the end of the bat-

tery life, the transmitters may also experience oscillating on-off switching

behavior.

The use of battery compartments may be a solution for rehearsals or to

avoid disasters, but should generally not be considered as part of an event.
