Typical Applications & Connection

Simple Plug & Play Use The X-BatTM  Systems are also incredibly easy to use and require no rewiring or soldering of existing active electronics. Simply snap the included J-BatTM battery jumper in place of the existing internal 9-volt battery and connect the instrument to the X-Bat9TM pack with the included KordexTM stereo cable (or any other high grade stereo instrument cable). Then plug the mono output cable into the amp or effects unit input and play-that’s all!
Low Voltage Indicator – The X-Bat9TM  system has the LoBatTM battery monitoring circuit built in. This circuit notifies the player with an LED indicator that voltage is below 7.7V  before any noticeable loss of audio quality! The quick access battery compartment reduces battery replacement to seconds-even between songs! Ultra low current LED allows the instrument to be played for an extended period (usually a few days) if a new battery is not immediately available.
Comprehensive Circuit Protection with Fault Indicator- The X-Bat9TM system also has integrated fault detection/protection circuitry. This circuit automatically protects against excessive current draw in the event there is a problem with the instrument or cable that could short circuit the batteries. If a problem is detected, the fault LED will light indicating the protection circuit has been activated. When the problem is corrected, the fault indicator will go out and the circuit instantly resets and is ready for use.

Easy and affordable solution for players that want to add active electronics to their instrument without any modification or disassembly to change batteries.
