Hey guys.
Just bought GMC-300e and loving it! My biggest concern is battery life. How long do your 300e's run for before recharge?

I've been reading lots of Russian forums, and their #1 choice "Terra-P" seem to work days and days on AA batteries... I would love to keep 300e on for as long as I can...

Let me know what should I expect from 280 mAh rechargeable 9v. I know there are 550 mAh version available, anyone upgraded theirs?

The runing time is depending on how you use it. Try to turn the power saving mode on and set LCD back light timer to 4-5 seconds.

The non-rechargeable battery always last longer than rechargeable battery.

The original 280mAh battery is not last very long. You can change it to other if you want.

If you use a Energizer Non-Rechargeable Batteries, then is will last days.(With power saving mode). Do not forget set the batter jumper to Charger-Off position.

I changed my one to Tenergy 250mAh NiMh rechargeable battery, it last much longer than the one comes with the machine(yellow 280mAh battery).

Tenergy 9V 250mAh:
