This battery, with a few minor modifications provides 10 amp hours (very long use)for any Neuros.
Add a very efficient 5 volt regulator (low q current)and solder the + wire to the center and you have a very very long lasting external battery supply.
Comes complete with the battery charger.

Gosh, was just looking at Li-Ion batteries on that same website.
Wonder if anyone knows if you could risk plugging 7.4volts into the Neuros?
I don't know if I have the skill or knowledge to work out what I need to make a 5 volt regulator :(

bad idea, its not meant to take that many volts
When I was a kid my mom used to tell me that curiosity killed the cat...What she forgot to tell me was that it also discovered the cat, invented the lightbulb, and forged the Neuros |

Any ideas for a battery to power two recorder 2's for 5 hours? |

Thanks, that's a great find, be interested in how you get on. The reviewer mentions with the 5v regulator, pulling more than 1250mA the voltage starts to drop a little. I have not measured the Recorder II, but I suspect with my plan to use two of them I may hit trouble.
So any other information/products you found from your research would be interesting.

If you want to use 2 NR2's together, a large capacity 12V battery
can be used with a 2 amp 5 Volt regulator. Email me with what your
thoughts are and I will send you some ideas.
A company called Dimension Engineering makes some packaged 5 volt
regulators for $12-$15 each.

OK, the Digipower battery only gave me around an hour of record time with one recorder, so I went back to the drawing board. I ended up purchasing a Tekkeon MyPower ALL:
http://www.tekkeon.com/site/products-mypall-specs.php
With one recorder, I can get over 12 hours of record time on one charge. I don't have a second recorder to test two together, but I believe that you could get at least 4 hours using two recorders on one battery, unless the amperage of the two together is too much.
Tekkeon specs:
- Weighs just 11.8 oz (330g)
- Size is 3.28” (W) x 6.80” (L) x .92” (D)
- Output current: 4A max
- Rechargeable lithium polymer battery
- 4 hour charging time
- Supports multiple voltages
(3, 4.5, 5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12, 14V)
- 36Wh output power

What if any adapter did you need for the Tekkeon?
Thanks! |

Soon to be released on our site, a battery adaptor that will accept
any battery voltage from 4 vdc to 35 vdc. Simply hook up our adaptor
to your battery and plug it into the Neuros.
Any battery, size, voltage will work with our adaptor to power the
NR2 or 442.
