These are 27A batteries, not aa these are much more powerful
and a must use Duracell are best and make a difference .
Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects
The box attached to the cables read: aq DBS 72v
It takes (6) 23ae 12v batteries in each box per cable. I judiciously replace batteries in remotes etc. yearly like checking the fire alarms. These batteries, which I have failed to register, have been in / attached to these cables for 8 years plus however long they were in prior to my purchase. AND they did not leak. AND when I push the little button on the box on the cable the little green light turns on.
Would that be pure lucky and amazing?
Also, can anyone tell me if I am using them in the best way: They connect the output of the tube pre-amp to the input of the tube main amp. My thinking is that is where the most current / possible noise would exist. But looking for advice. As these are my most expensive (I think best quality) interconnects I own.

While you have the batteries out: check them with a multimeter, for full, remaining voltage. After that many years, even without a load, batteries can lose output potential. No telling how minimal a voltage might still illuminate that test light. Unless your batteries are still at their peak; a test with and without, would not be legit. |
@mceljo I was and am happy. Just surprised that a: I didn't realize they had batteries and B: that they didn't leak after so many years! But what you say is correct. |
@rodman99999 I do need a multi-meter anyway. Good time to get one. All curiosity. |
