I use a Kindkables.com dual power cable with two Walmart lithiums. This gives me a huge amount of hours, and if one battery dies on me, I stil have a backup.

if you buy a 9V battery, you leave it on 6V and the extra voltage is released as heat.

Correct:  if the V2 is set to 12v, the 9v battery will not power it (see the manual and/or Grace website for how to change it from 12v to 6v).  If the V2 is set to 6v, the 9v will power it fine -- but the V2's low battery indicator and auto-shutoff features won't work any longer, unless you recalibrate them.  I believe Grace has the calibration instructions on their website.  At least for the V3, anyway, not positive about the V2. When I ran V3, I never bothered recalibrating because the 9v battery had its own battery meter.

Brain cramp.  See Ed's correction here:  http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,126547.msg1680268.html#msg1680268

Edit to add:  Sorry for bouncing the thread around a couple times.  I flubbed the first move.

This is my V3, but the cable and battery are the same with a different connector on the V2.

Bennett,

Is the power cable coming from the V3 connected to both batteries?

running two 9V batteries allows you to get something like 8.5 hours of run time.

When I ran my v3 as a pre-amp only I'd get at least 4.5 hours.
