I would suggest mandate removing all the batteries from the mic case each
week.
I would think you could get several weeks usage out of them.
Buy a battery tester.
I am not a fan of recharabable batts for stuff like this.
You would want a large gang charger that could do them all rather than trust
someone to come in and rotate the batts mid week I would think.
Does the mic actually make an alarm noise? Or just a visual alert on the
receiver.

Subject: [AFMUG] OT: Alkaline Batteries
At Church we use a some wireless microphones, they all use 2 AA
batteries. There is a battery indicator on the units, but Invariably,
they will start to alarm in the middle of using them. I'm pretty sure
the indicator is logarithmic, like my gas gauge, so it will spend %75 of
the time reporting full, and then quickly fail after that. So I'm
thinking about just mandating that all batteries are replaced at the
beginning of each use. We're not talking about a ton, ~20 batteries per
week.
How good are Rechargeable AA batteries, It's been years since I've last
used them, would they be worth looking into? Does anybody take half
used alkaline batteries and do anything with them other than throwing
them out?
