I find that I get around 2 3/4 weeks recording on it - around 30 hours
before I have to change the batteries - but I don't use rechargeable I use
Duracell plus. I use the long play mode and the voice & conference
settings.
I don't use an auxilary mic because I find they tend to pick up more noise
from surrounding students.
Kind regards
Elaine
