[Harp-L] M-Audio MicroTrack Question

["Jim Greenwald" <staggerin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I know there are a number of list members who use the original MicroTrack 24/96 recorder, and am hoping one of you can help me, since I haven't been able to get through to M-Audio's support dept. these last couple of days.
I've had this unit a couple of years and can't recall how much recording time per charge I originally got, but currently i'm getting less than an hour of recording on a full charge. This is with firmware 1.4.6, no backlight, monitoring off, output volume down, 16-bit 44.1 KHz wav, and using solid compact flash memory (not a microdrive). Seems kind of short <g> and don't know if I should send it in for a battery replacement. 
Can anybody report how much time they get per battery charge at these conditions?

Thanks, and best regards
Staggerin' Jim
