Well, the prototype case is made (from 2 RS 8cell holders). Made it from a small fishing utility box.
I have one set of 16 Duracells (all same age); getting a set of Imedions to try.
I wonder, if one set of 8 is 2400 ma and the other is 2650 ma, I guess performance is limited by the "weakest link", or the 2400's would die first leaving the 2650 handling the full load.
Just thinking.
Just got my DR-680
and am beginning to do runtime tests.
I'm curious to compare runtimes of the 16 AA's vs a Ultralast LiIon. I'm trying Transcend 32gb class 10 cards; I know a few have had problems; we'll see.
I think (hope) the 680 uses the external 12v source first and then switches to internals; that would allow me to hot-swap external supplies.
What would happen if the 12v external was swapped with a 9v LI? Would the 680 feed off of the internals until spent and then switch to the 9v. That's the way my PMD671 seems to behave.
Interested in opinions on the Imedions; I know some here have used them.
(Now to the basement to make chopped cables.)
Thanks
