Are you back in the Dallas/Forth Worth area, Ted?
Just curious Bean, why are you against using th tekkeon? Worked great for mea
Ted, Robb, ANYONE I would love to have one to run at the local shows. And also as small as possible!

You do realize that it will take close to 12 AA batteries (at 1.5v) to get you toward optimum voltage and still have around half the running time that you would get with a tekkeon or the battery above. 12 AA batteries together is almost the size of the sax.....
Ok, if you don't want what most consider the optimal solution, then I recommend using lifepo battery cells (lithium phosphorus).http://www.batteryspace.com/High-Power-LiFePO4-26650-Rechargeable-Cell-3.2V-2500-mAh.aspx6 of those will power your sax at optimum levels since they opperate at 3.2v instead (aprox 22v at start, and maybe 16v at dead, nominal just above 19v). Now, you'll have to buy them (plus charger since they aren't compatable) over using your existing AAs, but it will be smaller. What's your priority? Space or convenience?

Actually, rechargeable AA's are only 1.2v So I realize I would need a lot, but I don't care because I already own [32] x 2300mah NIMH AA BAtteries that I use with my LittleBox and M10. That's why Id rather my external powering being done with AA's That way I wont lose power AT ALL during festivals WITHOUT RECHARGING That's the KEY. WITHOUT RECHARGING I usually try to record every set at festivals, and that just doesn't allow CONTINUOUS RECORDING I HAVE to change batteries. But whatever So ANY HELP PLEASE Ted, I can DEF wait til you get back around. Safe travels and I'll hit you up when you get back

Safe travels and I'll hit you up when you get back But since you need 12 of them to get you up to 18V, that's only enough batteries for three complete changes (you'd need to buy another pack to get your three full battery changes). Is that enough to get through a weekend?
