Can the 6 volt mini- me run on other power sources like the 9 volt LI battery from Walmart, or a 12 volt battery? Curious if this would increase heat in the unit..... I know that 6 volts are usually wired with pins 2 and 3 active, and 12 volts use pins 1 and 4 of the 4 pin connectors ( industry standard)
Any info appreciated........I love the look and size of the 9 volt from Walmart

from the mini-me manual (http://www.apogeedigital.com/pdf/minime_usersguide.pdf)...
"The Mini-Me's low power consumption makes it ideal for battery operation. The standard power unit (included) supplies 12v DC at up to 1.25A (connector is center-positive), but the unit can be run on sources from 6 to 14 volts DC. Several suitable battery packs are available from third-party suppliers."

I get 5 hours run-time with the Walmart LiIon 9v battery powering my Mini-Me and DAT deck.
I'm only carrying lead for festivals now.
I've never had any heat related issues with this combination... or any combination for that matter.
