Batteries
Batteries are the unsung heroes behind every field recording.
Rechargeable batteries are great for reducing waste and power banks offer large supplies of portable power for long recordings in the field.
Rechargeable
Best Overall
Eneloop Pro AA 2,550 mAh
The Eneloop Pro AA batteries are the industry standard.
They are reliable, high capacity, can be recharged 500 times, and are not subject to any memory effects.
No memory effect means they can be charged when fully or partially drained and their full capacity will continue to be usable after each cycle.
Charger
Powerex MH-C801D
The Powerex MH-C801D is one of the best selling battery chargers due to its reliability and fast charging times.
It can charge most batteries to full capacity in about an hour.
This is the battery charger I use.
Power Banks
Anker 10,000 mAh
When it comes to portable power, Anker is the best brand to go with for quality products and reliability.
I use this 10,000 mAh capacity power bank for powering overnight drop rig recordings and for charging my phone while on overnight expeditions.
Anker 26,800 mAh
The Anker 26,800 mAh is a massive power bank.
I use it for powering overnight drop rigs for several consecutive days.
