I get 78 hours on the PCM M10 with lithium AA rechargeables, no problem
I remember when I got the device the factory
batteries lasted me almost 4 months of recording
here and there, probably 100 hours. I had to
replace them in the Czech Republic and two hours
later I was back at the store. So don't use
post-communist batteries.
