Title: power draw of the mp2?
Post by: sleepypedro on June 04, 2004, 12:23:42 PM

hi, does anyone know the power draw of the mp2?

trying to scope out whether a 7 amp/hour cell is going to power my equipment for long enough for it to be worth the trouble.  can't find specs anywhere.

much appreciated if anyone knows.

well, when I put 2 AA @ 2200 mAh, I can get about 3+ hours using phantom power, so it sounds like a 7 Ah cell would work.

On occasion, I've been known to edit archived threads before pointing people to them, but I usually 'fess up when I do.  Didn't make any changes in this case, though!

the mp2 will last a long time on a 7amp hour
