I hear 1.5 hours on the single battery charge. Battery quickly changed
without a door. A fairly common batt.  Power needed is the variable
voltage supply like 6 to 18 volts.  I didn't look to see if it can
take either polarity like my rme but would not be surprised if it can.
So in other words run whatever batt you want to run. Or change out the
supplied battery every 1.5 hours.

Mic power is based on what your mic uses.  My surround mic uses close
to 40 mills. My me-62 runs hundreds of hours on a single 1.5 AA cell.
