I ran my 4 year old 2300mah Energizer Rechargeable AAs in the 02ib recently, and I got over 15-16 hours before the 02ib sound started to get weird and get weird tones and stuff, so that's not too shabby. With new, broken in batteries, I should be able to get 18 hours or so hopefully. It ran until the m10 died, which is all I need the 02ib to run, which is [1] full day at a festie like Summer Camp, that goes from 12 noon until 4am, so 16+ hours has been done there just at one stage lol
That's the perfect amount of time for the 02ib to run for my needs on internals. I'm not using the AA battery tray for my 02ib much at all, so that means that I need an RC battery setup asap lol! If anyone knows of a really HQ charger for RC batteries, please let me know
But soon enough I'll have an external RC battery setup with 4Pin XLR's as my connectors, since my homie Tonedeaf scored me the special Schoeps DC connector for the vms02ib/vms52ub ;D8) Thanks again man!
