You don't do wireless mics for live TV.

The upshot is that when a wireless mike using NiMH cells on live TV
goes south, it screws up your TV show.

The life of the battery is more or less fixed. That is, it's a
consistent drain, and so life of a given battery line from fully
charged is the same unit to unit. You can count on the life of the
battery being a more or less constant number of hours.

Keep track of the hours on a battery, replace it at 2/3's of life.

I used all wireless mics on all my live radio, TV, and stage
shows. Never a problem with mics due to battery life.

I did notice some wireless mics were intermittent, from time to
time. Traced that to a poor battery fit. Returned from Energizers to
Duracells or ProCells and the problem never returned.
