Do the shotgun caps use any more of the battery power than the cardioid or omni caps?

don't know, but don't see why they would ???

I'm surprised noone else commented here yet.
I ran CM300s for about 3 years using the CP4s off and on. I never noticed any difference in battery life. The batteries lasted for a long time no matter what I ran and during the summer when I was using CP4s I don't recall replacing them any more often than in the winter when it was mostly CP1s. I was trying to remember how often I replaced the batteries, but it's been too many years since then.

Answer is no. Expect about 150~200hrs run time with those 9V EV206 cells regardless of CP-4 or CP-1 through 3 caps.
Nak-on! ;D
