As a HiMD advocate who has used the batt sidecar a lot, I think it is closest to B. Using A352, the gumpack gives me about 12-14 hrs. and the side car addition extends that to 20-22 hrs. I typically run both fully charged/run down together so the indicator starts at full and goes from there. A 2-4 hr session may 'dip' the indicator, but it will restore to full given enough time between the next session. This is an RH10 with the display set to constant on during playback. I used to hassle with rechargeable batteries in the sidecar but alkaline mega-packs have gotten ridiculously cheap @ Fry's and Wal-Mart so it's easier to simply swap out commercial batteries for me - not to mention rechargeables penchant for just stopping operation as opposed to commercial batteries tell-tale gradual decline. Recently I just acquired a daily-use NH600D that runs exclusively on a single AA and helps justify the purchase of mega-packs. Cheers.
