Perhaps you are doing likewise.

I tried, but it wouldn't power up the headset. The voltage when fully-charged
is a bit low, but when you consider an alkaline will power the headset until it
gets so low it'll hardly tickle the tongue, I don't know what's happening. It
might be that the impedance of the rechargeable is different than an alkaline
and the circuitry is thrown off by it.

I just buy a big pack of 9V batteries from Costco. Lasts me a couple of years.
Tuck a spare into the flying jacket pocket.

I have a pair of Telex Echelons. The ANR battery box connects with a
miniature stereo plug. I built little plates to mount the plug jacks,
and added an extra jack for the ANR power. Ran a couple extra wires a
little regulator circuit I built.
