Sanyo’s rechargeable 9V battery designed for musicians

For all those budding musicians and professionals alike, Sanyo, now part of the Panasonic group, has unveiled its Eneloop Music Booster, the newest addition to the Eneloop Universe. This device is convenient for musicians who use AC adaptors to power up their effects pedals, amplifiers, mixers, and other gadgets on stage. Measuring
W65×D42×H120mm in size and weighing about 280g, the Eneloop Music Booster has a built-in high capacity rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can be used in places with no electrical outlet. This sure beats the use of the common AC adapter that is useless without a power outlet around. Also, dry cell batteries tend to cause inconsistent
sound quality due to changes in battery voltage. This new baby from Sanyo however, shuns away these bad habits that can harm an entire onstage performance.

The music booster also has two 9V power ports that can power two 9 volt devices at the same time. It also has a power indicator, an LED basically, that’s green in color when the power remaining is over 60%. It turns orange when the power drops to 60% and below, and red when 30%. The Eneloop Music Booster is a savior for those who tend to take the stage often, and will be shown off at the largest musical instrument trade in the world, the NAMM show in the US in January 2010.
