optimistic-pessimist Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Seems like I read somewhere that the initial charge or two of a new gumstick battery won't give you the full potential life of the battery. Can anyone verify this? My concern is that I'm going to be taping several hours (haven't figured out EXACTLY how many yet) of music in PCM mode at Ozzfest this weekend, and I just got my new recorder last week. I haven't used it aside from a few initial tests... so I need to know if I need to take in some extra AA's and the attachment or not.

Roamer Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 PCM is the most power hungry mode, plus you'll need some extra power to save data at the end, so even with a proper fully charged gumstick, there is a good chance that you will need extra power (AAs + attachement).

ROMBUSTERS Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 what 'size' mAh is your gumstick? You can now buy AA batteries with upwards of 2800mAh and the higher this number the stronger the charge on the battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gumstick wouldn't have made it through all 5 bands that I taped. Thanks for the input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
