From the Friendly Manual:
"Please note that in battery-operated mode the phantom power provided is
only +18V!"

Seems to make sense, if you've got two 9V cells ;-)
I use a larger Behringer 1604 as my performance mixer. The Behringer
preamps aren't really what I would call quiet. And if you only have 18V
to run on in the field, even if your mics still work you'll still get a
very bad signal to noise ratio.
At home, I have a dedicated Quad Mic preamp from RME that I use with my
microphones, which is not a mixer however, although it probably could be
used with batteries in the field for a while.
I would buy this, but only as a cheap stage mixer that I could thrash
around (which is why I came across this manual tonight, a few weeks
after this thread calmed down). If you want to do outdoor recording with
it, I'd say you should scale your expectations to the technology...
