Sony PCM-M10 Battery Life?
rigpimp:
OK, I know a lot of folks have batteries last forever with this thing so why can't I get it to happen?
I only use this deck to stealth and ALWAYS have to bring an extra set of AA's with me to swap out during a multi-act show. I was unable to swap batteries last week and they died toward the end of about 3 or so hours of recording.
I am using older Eneloops and newer Eneloops with the same results. These ARE NOT crappy alkaline batteries.
I do have a formatted 64GB card and always record to the card first and then overflow to recorder. Should I be doing it the other way around? Does anyone think that large disk access may be the issue? I know the M10 is only supposed to support a 32GB card max.
Opinions? Insights?

Have you tried regular alkalines in your m10?
The rechargeable benefits do not seem to add up with the m10 when people are getting 30-50 hours with alkalines.

No, I have never tried alkaline batteries. I guess I have to give it a shot.
I have not bought alkalines in years. I bet I have been using Eneloops for close to 10 years now. I think that my old ones even say Sanyo on them.
audBall:
I say the above also as a user of rechargeables, but for some reason the run times in the m10 just fall short. I'm sure there is a reason for it, but never really looked into the matter.

I use rechargeables and get fair times. I have had to swap them out if there are 3 sets at 40 min each. Not a big thing for me.
