![]() Given those standards, while the first part of my test was a disappointment the second part was a success. With rechargeable batteries, I’m less concerned about the batteries lasting forever on a full charge but rather that they perform when I need them to for the time I need them to. Now, there’s multiple external factors that could have effected this including the microphone’s battery connections, power usage, and more. After putting them in around 7:45am, the microphone died before 9:00am. ![]() For my test, I put them in a Shure Beta 58 Wireless handheld on full charge (indicated by a handy green status light on the plus side). So in order to put these batteries through the true performance exam, I used them in wireless microphones. The key is, if there’s anything I can do to minimize troubleshooting, it makes life easier. Problems happen on the fly, troubleshooting is a must. However, I say for the most part for a reason. So, do they do the job?įor the most part, yes. ![]() But with rechargeable batteries, I’m willing to try any product that can do the job and save me money. I’m used to getting the jumbo sized packs from Amazon or Costco and not having to worry about not having batteries around. PerformanceĪdmittedly, I’ve always used single use batteries. However, the new market of USB-C rechargeables is more future forward than the standard NiMH rechargeables. It would be nice to see a boost in power if these batteries could match the 2,000+ mAh seen in rechargeables from competitors like Duracell. Both the AA and AAA rechargeable batteries fully charge in about one hour (AA being a little bit quicker). With Apple and other brands charging outrageous prices for proprietary accessories, this was a breath of fresh air.įor battery capacity, the AA batteries offer 1560mAh while the AAA offer 600mAh. Plus, if you ever need another cable, it’s only $5.00 on Paleblue’s website. The charging adapter could work well on your desk, in your car, or with a rechargeable battery pack. A 4-to-1 USB-C cable, this accessory allows you to charge all your batteries at once. What stood out right away was the charging cable. I reviewed their Sustainability Kit and was greeted by simplistic cardboard, curb recyclable packaging that did its job getting the product to and from. First Impressionsįrom the start, Paleblue backs up their sustainability claims with their packaging. Paleblue is a member of the sustainability nonprofit organization: 1% for the Planet. They are joined by companies like Patagonia, Peak Design, Klean Kanteen and others in annually donating 1 percent of gross sales to climate, food, and other environmental solutions. Utah-based company Paleblue, identified a problem with single use household batteries and took action with their Lithium Ion USB-C rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. However more importantly, USB-C is sustainably solving a real world problem by challenging the norm of single-use disposable batteries. Just me? Yes you’re right, this is an utter definition of a first world problem. Flipping it over and over and yet somehow it’s still upside down. All but gone are the days of trying to plug in your USB-A flash drive only to realize it’s upside down. I’m thankful I live in the time of USB-C.
