Hi,

Can anyone give me the quick run down on what's needed to run a Sound
Devices 7 series recorder off a 12V (?) lead acid battery?

I need to do some uninterrupted recording on the order of 24-28 hours,
two channel, probably 24/44, with a 722, providing phantom on both
channels. As are as I can tell I will need a pretty beefy battery --
anyone have field experience on what I really need? I was thinking a
26Ah battery would be conservative. Not to mention ridiculously heavy,
but I don't need to transport it into the back country, so that's OK.

My specific questions are:

Any guesses on the capacity I should really pursue?

Is there a commercially available power cable adapter that terminates
in the appropriate connector for the 7 series recorders, and has
spades on the other end for batteries?

Do I need a lead acid battery charger? I have a lead on some very
affordable ones, but is this a must- or a nice-to- have?

Any tips/pointers much appreciated. :D

Thanks,
aaron
