I have about 15 hours on the original batteries that came with my AT PRO. I am not using headphones.

I hunted for quite some ( 1+hour) time on one bar at the bottom of the battery bucket.

No performance problems at all. Today I turned it on and it shows two bars. The batteries seem to cycle up. I will run it until it shuts down (for lack of voltage).

Anybody using rechargeable.How do they work in the AT PRO?

In general rechargeable batteries do not last as long per charge as a good alkaline one but the trade off is you can charge them many times. The other thing I can think of is they tend to drop out faster at the end of their charge. As always, you should have a spare set with you.
