Testing Dollar Tree Batteries for Rehearsal – Did They Last? Shocking Results!

The Trials of Rehearsal: Battery Woes & Show Prep

Rehearsals for Advocatus Diaboli and the Grim Leafer Band are always an adventure, but this time, we learned a valuable lesson—not all batteries are created equal!

To save costs, we use cheaper batteries for wireless microphones during practice, reserving the higher-quality ones for live performances. This time, we grabbed a couple of packs from Dollar Tree, hoping they’d last at least one full rehearsal. Well… they didn’t. These bargain batteries barely lasted 30 minutes to an hour before dying on us. Lesson learned! We’ll finish using the ones we bought, but next time, we’ll invest in better budget-friendly alternatives.

For comparison, our good batteries last about five hours, so in perspective, an hour from the cheap ones isn’t the worst—but still not ideal for uninterrupted rehearsals.

Despite the minor hiccups, we’re gearing up for an exciting live show on Clapper (depending on internet and signal strength). Catch Advocatus Diaboli, Shamshini, and the animatronic trio—Spliff, Roach, and Blunt—bringing their supernatural sound to life!

📍 Mini Red Velvet Underground, Albuquerque
📅 Sunday’s Show – March 16th

Stay tuned and join us for a hauntingly unforgettable night of music!
