Powering Tascam 414 mkII through 6v batteries

[Vagodeoz]

I got hold of 2 6v batteries, and my Tascam 414 mkII works with 12v, so I can't stop thinking....
Can anyone tell me if the batteries can properly work with the 414? or if it will blew it away?
It's atomlux and their only specifications are "6V, 4.2 Ah"

You probably won't get much time off of them since the 424 MKII isn't designed for battery use. There are other factors involved, and I wouldn't recommend it... but hey, you don't know until you try!
