Mic Madness Mini Module Problem

I have often recommended the battery module I use, the Microphone Madness MM-CBM-Mini Miniature Classic Battery / Filter module

http://www.microphonemadness.com/products/mmcbmminminc.htm

A few months ago I wore one out--the cord got loose and staticky--and because I needed it that night, instead of sending it back to Mic Madness under the lifetime warranty I got it repaired for $2 by a guy with a soldering iron in Chinatown. Works great again. But in the meantime I ordered a new one as a backup.

I started using the backup one this week because the batteries ran out on the older one, and I wondered why I was getting little bursts of static in recordings. Was I using the remote too much for track marking? No more than usual. Jack problems on my well-used NHF800? Gosh, I hoped not.

Anyway, it was the battery module, which has a staticky mic jack. I'm sending it back for repair/replacement/whatever, but it's annoying and two shows are messed up.

The lesson is not just to look at the meter when testing connections before a show, but to plug in the phones, wiggle everything, and listen.
