I was.  5000mah lion.  7+ hours running line in and there was lots of battery left at that point still.

thanks for the info...what about running mic in?

[Nick's Picks]

I dont recall how long it powered my 140s, but it was "long enough" to say the least.

FWIW.....If you are using a wal-mart DVD battery to power this unit, it takes the "B" tip for the battery and the "M" tip for the unit.

I'm running a run time test right now.  I'll post results later......just remember the mics I'm running are power hungry so you may get a little better time than I will.

tommy, I must say I have to get one of these batteries if your marantz is still running


which one is it the 9v or the 7.2?

we have one already, remember. it came w/ the aiwa deck. not sure what the voltage is though. a trip to the shack is in order.

I don't think the 7.2v battery will work. 9v DC is stretching it as the recorder runs at 12v DC nominal.

chuck- does that mean that none of the "walmart" dvd batts will work?

if i recall correctly, there are 2 diff 'walmart' dvd batts, 7.2v and 9v ones, id say the 9v ones should work just fine tho ive never touched a 'walmart' dvd battery, let alone ran one, just stating what ive heard others say on this board

Bean has it right. I've not done it either, but others have. Just use the 9v DC version.

sorry it took so long for me to find this.....I got well over 5 hrs recording using the wal-mart 9V battery.
