External Power
Many of the newer digital recording systems are quite power hungry. This factor, coupled with the short running time offered by factory supplied rechargeable batteries, and the memory effect that these types of batteries seem to develop over time, can be quite a hassle for the field recordist.
Eco-charge offers external powering options for many digital recording devices. They utilize sealed, lead-acid, rechargeable batteries that offer much greater running times (4-6 hours or more per pack depending on machine) and can be recharged over and over without any negative effects. The packages offered typically include two battery packs complete with carry cases, shoulder or belt straps, smart recharger, and all necessary interconnecting cables. The up-front cost might seem a little high, but over the long haul it is certainly worth every dollar spent.
