clerky96 · 02-18-2010, 08:59 AM

Have had jbl for 2 weeks and using the alkaline batteries that came with it. Yesterday the low battery indicator message came up on the screen and the battery still showed 1/4 charge. My question is to those who use alkaline batteries; do you change the batteries immediately when you get that low battery indicator message, or wait a while longer? If the battery runs completely out will I have problems with the jbl coming back on? I noticed that TheBard had problems (he was using rechargeables) but when his jbl wouldn't come on with fresh rechargeables he put in regular alkaline batteries and his jbl turned back on. It seems like I am wasting 1/4 of the battery if I change them at the point the message appears.
