I use a Kindkables.com dual power cable with two Walmart lithiums. This gives me a huge amount of hours, and if one battery dies on me, I stil have a backup.

if you buy a 9V battery, you leave it on 6V and the extra voltage is released as heat.

ok, very cool, now is the machine set at 6 or 12 when i get, its used, so how do i check? if the 9v powers it, its set 6 if it doesn't it's 12v?

Correct:  if the V2 is set to 12v, the 9v battery will not power it (see the manual and/or Grace website for how to change it from 12v to 6v).  If the V2 is set to 6v, the 9v will power it fine -- but the V2's low battery indicator and auto-shutoff features won't work any longer, unless you recalibrate them.  I believe Grace has the calibration instructions on their website.  At least for the V3, anyway, not positive about the V2. When I ran V3, I never bothered recalibrating because the 9v battery had its own battery meter.

Brain cramp.  See Ed's correction here:  http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,126547.msg1680268.html#msg1680268

Edit to add:  Sorry for bouncing the thread around a couple times.  I flubbed the first move.

This is my V3, but the cable and battery are the same with a different connector on the V2.

Bennett,

Is the power cable coming from the V3 connected to both batteries?

[Big Perm]

i was going to ask the same thing

[NOLAfishwater]

running two 9V batteries allows you to get something like 8.5 hours of run time.

[Big Perm]

how long if you use one battery at a time?

When I ran my v3 as a pre-amp only I'd get at least 4.5 hours.
