Anyone have a semi-accurate count for the runtime with 8xNiMH like the Eneloop Pro? With 2 channels? With 4?
It seems that 4 channels w/ 4 alkalines is a measly 1hr, so I'm hoping the bigger sled and more advanced batteries can improve on that substantially....
I have been getting 5+ hours with them for 2-4 channels plus the l/r, no phantom, LEDs etc on low settings. I did 6 channels last weekend, two with phantom plus l/r (2 of them were because I forgot to disarm 5/6) and they were drawn down much faster - i switched to USB-c after 2 hours because the power meter was still green but 3/4 drained. An accurate estimate is tough because its going to depend on channels, phantom or not, etc.
The monoprice USB-c battery abd reaming time in the 8 aa sled gave me 7+ hours and was still going when I stopped recording.
