If I'm calculating the runtime for an MP-2 @ 48v phantom using (2) 2500mAh Ni-MH AA:
Do I add the battery capacity of each battery?
[(2500 + 2500) / 750] * (.80) = 5.34hrs
Or does the capacity stay at the amount of 1 battery?
(2500 / 750) * (.80) = 2.67hrs

The latter:
(2500 / 750) * (.80) = 2.67hrs
But you should run some field-simulation tests to find out exactly what run-times to expect using your gear. The above is strictly an estimate, and may be significantly off from your actual results due to different microphones drawing higher or lower current.
