Will Poon Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 £500 pounds or so for a pair of CENS and you get no bloody batteries it's like buying 1000 Eley VIPs They go bang but there's no pellets in them :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 how long are the batterys sposed to last ? Off the top of my head, about 300 hours. £500 pounds or so for a pair of CENS and you get no bloody batteries it's like buying 1000 Eley VIPs They go bang but there's no pellets in them :lol: Lol, and the rest!!! Yea, was a bit surprised to say the least, hardly much to ask given the cost. Maybe I'll get a complimentary packed as an apology for forgetting the batteries.....Well, here's hoping anyway.

Will Poon Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Hey Carson I'm only joking pal about the batteries I'm sure the company you got them from will sort something out for you, they must be good as alot of clay shooters have them, To be honest I'm waiting on my ACS hearing protectors very similar to yours , I would have ordered the CENS but I thought they were only battery operated but I see you have the option to change them around , as the ACS are passive only protectors happy shooting pal :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominicrobed Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) The passive inserts must be new , just had a look on their web site think I might go and pay them a visit and buy some up grades Edited August 5, 2012 by Dominicrobed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty38 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Off the top of my head, about 300 hours. I thought I'd check the website as I don't get anywhere near that from my batteries but the small print says the batteries discharge even when switched off so that may well explain it......

retromlc Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) i have a black pair with orange inserts for the battery set,personally I'd go for brighter one if I choose again<I've dropped one before in the field and spent a very worrying 20 minutes looking for them<if they had been brighter I might not have spent so long.I've also flicked out the eletronics by accident before,luckily in the back of a LandRover,they are real small and another sweaty 10 mins,fortunately I spotted the Orange cap in all the rubbish. the way to make your battery last longer is to re-apply the little tab that is on the battery,it slows it down a bit.

retromlc Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 If you go for sodium yellow, you know the same as the glasses will you be able to hear the clay better on a dull day? a scientificly proven truth Now why didn't I think of that plus I won't need the upgrade now.... once the batteries are activated then they drain regardless,they are hearing aid batteries.

scotty38 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 once the batteries are activated then they drain regardless,they are hearing aid batteries. Ah ok. Now I've not looked so there may be a perfectly good reason why not but can't we just use "normal" batteries then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hearing aid barriers are very small I don't know but that's probably the only reason as you would need big ears to fit a d cell battery in your ear plug, check what prince Charles wears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmouse Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Battery life is a nuisance, or rather lack of it. Air batteries and they do discharge from the second you pull the tab off whether in use or not. If you put your CENS away for a while take the batteries out. I have had them rust in mine. Not good.

Not good. sorry to disagree,but they do discharge from when you take the tab off,I know the General Manager for the company that makes CENS and he used to run one of the biggest hearing aid batterry companies UK division for a USA company,so i going to believe him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
