Have a buddy who just upgraded to Busmans from nak 100. He never needed outboard power before, any direction anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Marc

Have Ted make him a usb battery cable for it. Just about any 5v usb pack will run one of these.

I've run a SD-MP2 powering Schoeps caps for 5 hours on 2 AA's. I've never tested to see how long it would run on AA's.
-
When I had an MP2, I could just power it with two high quality AA rechargeables. They lasted long enough for any show I taped, even with phantom power enabled.
Depending on which revision of the MP2 you have, you might need to modify your AA rechargeables to make them work in an MP2. I think Sound Devices also offered a modification of the MP2, but I never got that as the mod to the AAs was easy enough.

I know my buddy is cash strapped would just as soon use AAs thanks for replies. Long shot but anyone run busmans>mp2?

^I've ran Busman BSC1 > MixPre.
From what I remember, the BSC1's were HOT. MixPre gain knobs were HOT and had to be next to nothing... or even zero (don't quite remember).
It sounded good... but was HOT. I thought about getting external pads to run in between the mikes and MixPre, but never did.
I always ran AA's and never had any issues... but always kept a spare pair in the bag.

I just snagged myself a sd mp2 as well. I just purchased a right angle hirose connector via bh photo. I searched my usb cable drawer and found the thickest nicest silicone'ish cable to chop and solder to it.

Sound Devices MP-2 does NOT take Hirose, but Coaxial. Did you mean Mixpre?
