run time on a dap1 w/ a 6v 7.2a.....

[F.O.Bean]

tested it out the other day, i got a SOLID 9 hrs out of the dap1 beofre i shut it down, thats 3 SOLID phish shows, sound familiar guyz???

[F.O.Bean]

personally, i thought it would last six at the max, but it kept truckin, w/ no signs of a low batt light!!!

jef, how long have you pushed it??

[Tim]

hmmm.... that's longer than I thought. perhpas the numbers in the archive section are off?

sure would be nice to run the modsbm-1 and dap1 off of the same battery, by my calculations though I would only get about 4 hours so I haven't done it yet.

9 hours recording? or just 9 hours being on? or playback?

Per the DAP1 specs:

Internal batt: 7.2v, 1.4 AH
Run-time w/o phantom: 120 min (2 hrs) recording
Run-time w/ phantom: 100 min (1.66 hrs) recording

So...assuming their numbers are correct (which is unlikely as I've never seen a manufacturer NOT inflate their run-time):

w/o phantom
1.4 AH / 2 hrs = .7 A = 700 mA

w/ phantom
1.4 AH / 1.66 hrs = .843 A = 843 mA

Granted this is off internal 7.2v power.  I assume external power is roughly the same though.  Archival info thread updated to reflect specs, but real life numbers still ??.

flipped a 90m 3 times...hope you dont care jef.....

phantom off, digi in, powered off of a 6v 7.2a by itself

so, yes, recording!!!

anybody else have similar experiences

[F.O.Bean]

nobody runs a dap1 anymore???

I've never pushed it over 6hrs. on a 6v. Did you have the light on?

yep, the backlight was on and i was on hold also, w/ the coax in from the v3

I've never run my new 7.2a all the way down on the DA-P1, I've run it on playback for a good 6 hours, and prolly still coulda got another few hours.. but thats playback...
