Hi Graham,
  I recently acquired a voyager from a headfi member and I really enjoy it with my hd580 and er4-s. Although the battery seems last forever, I do want to ask if I want to use rechargeable 9V battery, which one should I go for? Because there are a lot of rechargeables from 200mah to 300mah. There is also a "True 9.6V rating" PowerEx 230mah and an iPOWER 9 Volt 500mAh Lithium Polymer Rechargeable.
which one should I go for: the larger capacity or the higher V rating?

Cheers,
John

Hi John,

The Voyager is quite tolerant of battery voltage and I'd go for the highest capacity to get the longest usage. 9.6V is OK too but would run down in about 2/3rds of the time.

Graham, is the reason the 9.6 V battery lasts only 2/3 because of its lower 230 mAh rating? Thanks.

Yes, but dividing one by the other you'd expect it to be half, but this one has a 0.6 volt start over the other so I'm giving an educated guess that it would take a little longer than half to go down.
