phenix9 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 hi i used this product i bought it 4years ago but now i am very disappointed -1st problem : rechargeable batteries do not allow to play 8 hours like they said but 3hrs max and it quickly discharge so it is not very cool and serious BUT OK, DON'T USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES!!!!! -2d problem the hook that attaches to pants or belt is plastic not solid and it is now broken !! -3d problem Finally, housing for batteries not closed properly this is fragile, unsustainable I could attach the hook with something sticky on the box to attach to belt or pants the hook is now detached from its hook housing they no longer hold together so very fragile and not serious!

chuberto Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 You bought a budget wireless system four years ago and your issues are: a) The rechargeable batteries you bought don't last long enough. b) The hook is flimsy c) The battery door is fragile. My thoughts: a) What batteries are you using? Rechargeable AAs typically put out 1.2v and have a limited life cycle. How old are they? It is well known that rechargeable batteries don't last as long as non-rechargeable so if you want a good life from them you need to be using something pretty decent. I use Ansmann rechargeable batteries and they last three hours at band practice and still work for ages afterwards (although I always charge them before each session). b) It is flimsy. You should have seen that when you bought it four years ago but the whole item is cheap and flimsy. c) That's very well documented online. As per the wire clip. I immediately bought a Levy transmitter holder, not only does it replace the wire hook it holds the batter door securely closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phenix9 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 1)yes, i will use standard batteries but the price will be high for a year ? i used Varta AA 2600 mAh and Energizer 2300 mph (i think it's better ) 2) the hook is now out of the g30 so, i find a solution for bonding and attach it to the box i really did not think the hook will be alone now ! :((( but ok, i had a solution i have never thought about a transmitter and wireless holder i did not know it could exist (for us) i have found a Richter but it's expensive and i need to change my guitar strap because my guitar strap Planet Waves Black Strap can't have a wireless holder so it can be complicated but i am ok to say it will be useful except for the back?lol i want the g10 because it will has no batteries!

phenix9 Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 how many hours can you play with the relay 30 with standard batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee7uk Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I use Energizer 2400/2600 mAh rechargeable batteries and on average get 4 gigs out of them. That includes sound check and either a 1hr 30min or 1hr show per gig. Can't grumble really. The rechargeable's last a lot longer than Duracell non rechargeable batteries.

rmwpsych Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 So far, the wireless signal of my two G30s work fantastic. Here are some tips to protect it and get the most Eco-friendly workable battery life out of it. Truth is, the design of the G30 is not very robust. One drop and your probably done. The door will break off or the belt clip with snap. 1. Get a Neotech neoprene wireless pouch size small - it keeps the unit protected, keeps the battery door snug, Velcro straps hold the pouch to your strap. I put the G30 in the pouch output side down - there is a small opening just big enough for your output cable and you can squeeze your finger in the top part to turn the unit on and off. 2. Get an 8 pack of Sanyo enloop pro batteries (2500mAh) and a charger. They are more expensive but hold a charge really well and can be charged 500 times. I recharge after every gig and carry a few spares in my gig bag. No issues so far. I hated throwing out batteries after 7/8 hours - not a sustainable solution. The enloops are great and shortly pay for themselves many times over as well and your Green Party consciousness can rest easier : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
