I've only run mine for one show at a time before recharging.   I ususally just run it off an external 9v "walmart" lithium ion battery.  It'll run (practically) forever on one of those.  Sorry I can't be more help...

you can run 3 shows, as long as they aren't 3 set shows...

i make sure to remove the batteries between shows, to ensure that there is no additional drainage in your bag.
12 is about it, but try 15 you may as well.
