Energizer Lithium AA Batteries (used with Tascam DR-100)

[Chimney Top]

The Tascam DR-100 gets pretty crappy battery life.  a regular pair of batteries will get you 20 min. with phantom power.  the rechargable battery gets about 90min. fully charged. maybe a little bit more. 

I used 2 of the energizer lithium batteries at the Fox the other night and recorded for 2 hrs without one bar from the battery/power light missing.

They are $10 for 4 at publix.  maybe you can find them cheaper. 

GREAT backup's for the DR-100.

The discharge curve of lithium batteries is such that they maintain their peak voltage until just before they die. You'll see full bars for 90% of their life, then all bars will go practically at once.

I have had good luck with these batteries:

You can buy lithium batteries in bulk off eBay for a reasonable price.

My M1 is still chuggin' along and I've even got the wristwatch remote for it, so I can monitor levels while it is in the bag.  Otherwise I'd have one too....

If I sell my 722, I'll be buying another M10 as well, for some 4-channel action

Apples and oranges..
The M10 doesn't get even 20 minutes if you need phantom power from it.

Tell me more about this remote.  I've never seen one.

after what I went thru on my 680... TEAC can SUCK IT!
I'm sure SONY customer service is probably lacking as well
but for now, they're making a product I'm happy with

but that's another thread, sorry!

I understand that!
