Hi John,
The LS-100 comes with a tiny 3.7V/925mAh Li-ion battery (the larger interna=
l battery of the TASCAM DR-100 is 3.7V/1800mAh). One can therefore not expe=

be able to overcome.
So, if you need a longer battery life, you will either need to carry additi=
onal USB power packs or you had to choose a larger recorder such as a Foste=
x FR-2LE or SD7xx.
I still have not examined the noise level of the internal mics of the LS-10=
