Shitty batteries will greatly reduce the recording time even if they're not rechargables. You'd be surprised at the difference. I remember back in my MD days, when I'd get 2+ hours from a normal battery, I bought some off-brand australian batteries and only got 30 minutes from each. Which resulted in me only recording half of a song that Beck only played once on his entire tour. Sigh. The lesson: shitty batteries suck.
