It eats up battery life - or does it ?
I recorded an hour at MP3/224 with new Duracell plus AA batteries and the H2 flashed 'low battery' at me. Not good. But then when I checked the batteries in my multimeter the following day they registered 'good'. So I popped them in again and recorded for ten minutes and the battery icon still showed full when I switched off !
What to make of it ?

I have recorded over 2hours 50 minutes in WAV 2 channel and still have full power, am using cheap batteries from Pound land.

Perhaps the MP3 uses more power and the coding.
