Sorry to keep dusting off this old thread, but after a few months I thought I'd share my thoughts on the option I eventually went with for my DR-680, which was to use Powerex 2700 mAh NIMH AA rechargeable batteries and the Powerex MH-C801D charger.
On a full charge, the batteries last over five (5) hours with the 680 running with phantom power on channels 1-4. In "soft mode" the charger usually manages to recharge them in a couple of hours - I've never felt the need for the accelerated one-hour charge. Granted, the batteries are still "new", and I'm not a heavy user, having recorded maybe 12 long sessions since getting them back in September. Still, so far I have to say I'm quite happy with them. for what it's worth, j On Sep 11, 2011, at 6:24 AM, John Leonard wrote: > They still do: > > http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/622827-REG/Tekkeon_MP3450_10_myPower_ALL_Plus_MP3450_10.html > > Regards, > > John > > On 11 Sep 2011, at 11:08, John Leonard wrote: > >> There used to be an extender that you used with a custom mount to give twice >> the operating life, which B&H also sold. > > _______________________________________________ > Sursound mailing list > Sursound@music.vt.edu > https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound > _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
