Looking for a quality wirless handheld with a battery powered reciever

I could be wrong, I but I don't think you're going to find a wireless unit where the receiver is battery powered, except on the all-in-one, powered speakers that have a built-in wireless. That new Carvin Stagemate looks promising.

Now we just need battery operated Mixers, and we can set up for the reception in the middle of the woods with no electricity available. Use Battery Powered wireless Up Lighting to light the tent up.
Then they just need to come out with battery powered effect lighting so we can also have a nice light show for the dance floor.
Only downside will be battery duration on our laptops...Tough to play music from a laptop for 4 hours straight without plugging in to keep battery charged. ...So then we just need to bring a power inverter...problem solved.
...This will be the future of DJ equipment in a few short years???

A short story from the weekend. My brother brought his American Audio 8BT speaker to his wedding on Friday night. It was windy and he was in a old historic restaurant. The power kept going out. The lights went out during the reception, BUT he managed to keep the music going by plugging his laptop directly into his 8 BT. He also had a battery powered grill light he shot at the dance floor so there was some light so people could see. He had people dancing in the dark, and the staff at the restaurant, as well as other guests were AMAZED that he could keep the music playing while the power was out. Restaurant Manager asked him for a lot of business cards to hand to future prospects having their wedding there.
Battery Powered Mixer? ... Behringer Xenyx 1002B
I had an earlier version of this .. worked fine on battery, though they didn't last more than a few hours.

I am building a completely self powered wireless system for ceremonies and experimental purposes, for now using an Ipad, American Audio ELS-GO 8BT speakers and I just ordered the Shure FP mic, I would like to have a mini battery powered mixer with 3 mic channels that would transmit bluetooth, but I don't thinks its available as of yet
I have to say, I'd probably be extremely concerned if I had a ceremony rig where each device was powered by its own battery. Battery mic receiver, battery mixer, battery speaker(s), and battery laptop/ipad. That's a LOT of failure points and if you forgot to charge any of them, you're dead in the water. I currently use the biggest marine battery that walmart sells, along with a 400-watt inverter. I've really begun to wonder though if I didn't over-shoot on the battery. That dude is huge and is a PITA to haul around and I'm not really sure exactly how long the thing will stay up. This begs a question (which I'm posing to the obvious experts here), how many amp-hours do you actually need to push an inverter and sustain a 1 to 1.5 amp sustained load? Typical ceremony time is almost always an hour or less. Anybody care to offer a guess?
I can run the sound system on my pontoon boat for 4- 5 hours at a pretty decent volume before the battery goes dead, I have a separate marine battery just for the sound system, it's got a couple of 2500 watt amps, two 12 inch subs and 4 main speakers, I won't buy batteries at walmart I use optima's
the only two points on this system that require charging are the Ipad, and speakers, it's really no different than providing wireless uplighting, just make sure you plug everything in when you get home that way it's charged the next time you need it.
It's funny you mention that. I never re-charge my slimpar-EZs after I get home. We get to the next gig, plug them in first, and they're always fully charged by the time we have everything else in place. I need to engineer a better way to haul them. The stinkin rocker switch gets bumped on and runs the battery down. Not every unit but usually 2 or 3.

Deejaying in 2025 should be interesting. I wonder if there will still be DJs out there using CDs, and old, old Speakers from the 90s or even 80s at that point. By then DJs shouldn't have to carry or lift any piece of equipment that weighs over 50 lbs.

Actually, charging the lights right away after a gig and keeping them bagged or boxed up until the next gig isn't the best idea unless your next gig using them is the very next weekend. Over time those batteries lose charge. I thought my lights were all fully charged for a wedding because I charged them completely about 3 weeks earlier. ...Well come the reception 2 of the lights went out 2 hours into the reception, and another light went out an hour later. That could also mean those batteries are losing their charge strength in general as well. One of the other lights went off as the reception was ending after being on for 6 hours so 4 out of 4 lights didn't make it off of a full charge 3 weeks prior.
I always try to charge the lights 2 nights before the event I am using them for...I usually start charging them Thursday, and by Friday morning all are charged 100% for the weekend. If I have back to back events where I am using them...they will need to be plugged in at some point between gigs whether at the next gig, or at home.

In 2025, the DJ will be a computer out in the cloud that has been given the couples dos and don'ts and has compiled a sure fire list of songs by scanning the social media sites for info on the guest list.

HA! Yes. I was thinking Cyberdyne systems would build Robot DJs who's mission is to rock parties everywhere by using specially designed algorithms and sub routines built into their robot microprocessor. The only disadvantage would be when the positronic relay get's overloaded as the Robot tries to understand emotion, and connect with the audience on a A.I. level. ...Or if the Robot's battery dies. I'm waiting for Café 50s to open up, and bartenders become robots. Hey at least the Robot can automate liquor and beer pour levels down to the mili leter so companies can keep over pouring to a minimum. The robot also doesn't need to be paid, and can be kept on premisis 24/7. Never any issues with cash or money missing either because everyone will pay with their thumb prints or eye retina scan, and no cash on premises.
Our Monetery economy will eventually collapse due to technology, and machines will rule the world.
No need for a robot .. unless it's to physically set up the gear (the only piece that needs touching in the 2025 environment) ... unless the venues are in on the act and have all that in place .. including the holographic "DJ" synthesized by the computer in the cloud.
Heck .. all of it can be done fairly easily today (maybe not the hologram .. at least not cheaply). Simple to stream, simple to set up a 2-way video link .. remote DJ can take requests via text.

you should be able to leave them plugged in all the time, I am assuming they have built in circuitry like a battery tender, all of my marine and small engine batteries are kept on battery tenders constantly when not in use

I recently got the Audio Technica System 10 battery powered mic system with the lav mic. It's worked awesome and I've done a few ceremonies with it, the iPad and Bose L1 compact running off of a Black & Decker power inverter to great success.
