So,
If I can buy one of the "new version" Tekkeon's from them for $220 lets say, or four Lenmar DVD batteries (not huge capacity, about 23Wh) for $35-40 each, what would you carry?
Currently I'm carrying two DVD batteries, one for V3 and one for DR-680 but need more power for summer festival season. I was carrying two DVD's for the Tascam (one primary, one backup/long show use), but now I'm carrying the V3 as well. Or what about this new DVD battery that someone here linked to:
http://www.bixnet.com/bx948.html$90 for 48Wh.
I was thinking 4 dvd batteries, especially if they can be had for $35. Even assuming $40, that's $160, versus $180 for two of the BiX batteries. Or $220-$280 for the Tekkeon.
It's not that I'm super cheap, but $$ is $$, space/weight matter, heat in the bag in the summertime matter (the V3 sheds heat big time as you may know), cost vs. benefit, etc.
Let's leave out the "buy a large battery, what if the show goes long" portion of the debate, since I will always have a backup (a full battery, or AA's in the Tascam).
Thanks for the space, let's have some discussion of preferences...
