The AH4X4 comes with two battery holders * allowing you to choose which best suits
your needs. You can use either:
1. 3* Lithium-ion (Li-ion) 18650 protected, button top, cells.
+
Constant high discharge rate recommended at 6A or above, with a 3AH or greater capacity for
best life. We recommend quality, Self-resetting batteries with a high trip current. Please note,
Lithium batteries must be the protected, button top type; unprotected cells must never be used
in this product and could pose a severe fire risk.
+ Lithium batteries are not all created equally, many are sub-standard with very low or
inconsistent protection levels. Sub-standard batteries could affect the performance of the
AH4x4, or reduce the run time, or both! In some circumstances, these sub-standard batteries
may also trigger the batteries own protection circuit too early, making the AH4x4 appear to
shutdown. Always use the best high quality batteries!
2. 8*AA alkaline (LR6) or 8*NiMH (CR6) cells. Most AA cells cannot provide the necessary power
levels for constant full power use in normal mode and are best used in eco mode or at modest
listening levels, or for vocals.
