1. the first way is to supply power from a standardized cylindrical battery, because the battery is various in type and variety, and sufficient in supply and sufficient in power utilization. At present, most wireless microphones adopt a mode of serially connecting a plurality of AA batteries (namely, a fifth dry battery) to supply power. Wherein, the dry battery has higher cost and is not environment-friendly for long-term use; when the nickel-hydrogen rechargeable battery is adopted, the nickel-hydrogen rechargeable battery has long charging time and short service life, and the voltage is relatively low (1.2V), so that the electric quantity is limited by the fact that the voltage threshold of the equipment cannot be completely released, and the cruising ability cannot meet the requirement that the microphone in the entertainment place needs to be powered for a long time. After the electric quantity of the battery for supplying power is exhausted, the battery is required to be taken out of the wireless microphone and replaced by a new battery, so that the operation is troublesome and the use is inconvenient.
2. The second method is powered by a 9V square battery, and because the battery capacity is small and the button connection is easy to damage or contact failure, the power supply method is also difficult to popularize in the wireless microphone.
3. The third mode is that a special lithium ion battery supplies power, a microphone supplied with power by the special lithium ion battery is adopted, the microphone and the battery form a system in a self-contained mode, maintenance is not facilitated, and the special lithium ion battery is single in variety and high in price and use cost; in addition, once the battery is in a problem, the disposable battery cannot be used for emergency, so that the use of the wireless microphone is stopped, and the wireless microphone is unacceptable for entertainment, meeting and teaching.
