RE: Question about the far outlet

["Gary Lehmann" <hqr@cox.net>]

I got a new battery for the FO a couple of months ago--when new, the
batteries last for 3-4 hours of moderately loud amplification.  Last time I
used it, I plugged a bass amp in, as well as the Carvin StageMate for
vocals, and we played for three hours outside at Mission Bay in San Diego.
It didn't run out of juice!
I think amplifiers use more electricity than outboard gear--and although 
the
StageMate was plugged in, it is also battery powered, with some sort of
internal switching, so that may have helped save juice.
Steve, how loud do you want/need to be?
