All this battery info is great, against future need for me. But a=20
question:
Why use 10 cells for 15 volts when the SD units spec 10 - 18? in the=20
external supply? Is it for longer life as the original voltage is=20
higher? Wouldn't it work as well using the 8 pack at 12V which would be =
a more compact package? Curious if you have tried that and found it=20
lacking... I would think seriously about using 8 cells, building two=20
packs, and leaving one to charge before switching. Unless you'll be in=20
the outback for weeks!
I used to run my D-100 DAT, and before that a D-6 casette, from 4 D=20
cells similarly ... so been there assembling such things!
Thanks,
Lou
