Batteries for PM6 & Reloader B

[bidstar]

Hi Guys,

Took my new PM6 & Reloader B out for a training day on Sunday.
Was using Cheap Alkaline batteries from B&Q.

Tested them after a short days play and...
9V has dropped from 9.5 to 8.6
6cell pack has dropped from 9.6 to 8.4

Changed the batteries for new energizers and the reloader seems much faster (speed setting 2)
Started chopping a few balls by the end of the day maybe caused by low marker battery?

So, the question... Looking for reliable Alkaline batteries that will keep everything running 100% for the whole day or more. What do you use? in what kit? and how long do they last? where do you get them from?

Cheers,

Tim.

Energier E2s and duracell procells are the two I used to use, now though I use a rechargable battery pack for my empire and my pulse which was designed to run at 9.6v and last for over 10 cases between charges. I also have a high voltage 9 volt in both my markers that last for well over a days play. But both get charged at the end of a days play and have never failed on me before now (bet I have jinxed it though lol)
