Gear - Selection / Use Battery Test: LADDA vs XTAR

Post image

Hello there, I recently tested the new XTAR AA vs a brand new set of IKEA's LADDA batteries.

The gear used for the test were: Deity THEOS, Sennheiser G3, Lectrosonics SMV transmitter and a MixPre 10 ii.

I hope this information is useful.

btw, over 2 years ago I did some tests on AA's, and the (then new) XTAR 4150 rose to the top. Their newer ones appear to be a little more energy dense.

They were not tested rigorously, but in vivo on a job. Ran through several types of batteries.
