Topic: Edirol R-09HR Line In Battery Life?

[dave570]

If I put two new fresh Duracell (regular or Ultras) in an Edirol R-09HR and do "Line In" recording from another source (DAT or memory card) and assuming I put it on "power save", approximately how long will these 2 batteries last?  I'm trying to see what will occur with some long shows that I have in Oct-Nov. These shows range from 4 - 7 hours. Thanks!!

about 5 hrs with regular duracells.

Thanks!   I mostly use Ultras.  Even in my D8, they lasted longer.  If I ever make it to Penn State for the Obama-Dead-Allmans gig in Oct, I'll bring 4 Ultras with me.

With PowerEx 2700 mah batteries, 7 hours with 2 different home tests

Never tried more, but 5 hours in the field on 2 separate occasions

The 2700 mAh batteries can last 7.5 hours. Worst batteries I have (2000 mAh) last over 4 hours. That's what my home test showed. First field recording will be this Sunday, I'm nervous already

How did the recording go? Did you use the HR and only the HR or do you have external mics?
