9 hours bean on a 6 volt BP-50? I am lucky to get 5 on mine

Ditto on my 7.2 AH hack job - no more than 5 hrs. So I usually schlep around a 10AH SLA to ensure I can catch opener 1 and/or 2 + headliner. I keep telling myself: one of these days I'll pick up a DVD LiIOn battery.

damn, thats crazy :) this has def been discussed before, im gonna look up schoeps vs. akg currewnt draw, i didnt think the schempz were THAT much higher :)

i am gonna get some rc batts+ leegeddy's VR box as soon as i can afford it :)

+T, that sounds about right then, cause if i had to push a fully charged batt, i could prolly get close to 10hrs, your current draw is double, so it would be about half the runtime, about 5 hrs :)

Don't forget about gain levels - more gain takes more power.  So a high sensitivity mic will naturally output more and require less gain.  If you monitor current draw you can watch the meter bounce along with the music when you crank the gain!

yep.  same everything except the v3.  gonna call grace on monday.

LMK what you find out about this. I have the same problem sort of. My batteries should seem to go much longer based on the current draw and the amp hours of the battery. How long does your V3 last after the lights come on?  I get about 20 minutes if I'm lucky?

That was with an old ecocharge 6/7.2 AH. I made several new batteries (6/12AH) that will go much further. I'm running schempz cmc6 so I guess part of my power draw is an offering to the dark side. These 6/12's are heavy as hell. If I could push a smaller battery a little further into the red zone I would be happy. I still think I should be able to get more time out of the batteries that I'm using, but with the 6/12's I can get to the 6 hour shut off time.
