FR2 Power Solutions

After much deliberation I have finally decided to get a Fostex FR2
recorder for my crossbill call field work.

Does anyone have any good, cost effective external power solution
for this recorder ? I know about the Sonic Studios Sledge and this
has been recommended by a colleague and is definitely something I
will get as the cost is not obscene. However, I would like to avoid
regularly using alkaline batts as I don't think its very eco
friendly !


Ideally looking for about min 5 hours max 9/10 hours in field. I
would always have access to a power point at the end of each day.
The stuff could get used up to 3-4 times per week at certain times
of year.

After what I have spent I don't want to spend 100's (at this stage)
on power if possible - one quote from a company here for charger,
lithium batt and regulator was =A3499 ( $ 900 ) !!!! Was good stuff
though, lasting 14 hours on one
charge ;-)


Cheers for any help,

Linz
