battery life and recorder

regarding my DP 008 EX ....

the 9V battery of my elec/acoustic guitar had lasted over a year ...
do not play it electrically all that much.. but as i have begun dabbling w/ the recording, old one died ...
replaced with a standard duracell 9 V, which lasted less than a month ... again,
not much electric use, but more, w/ it attached to the tascam ....is that enough to kill the battery life so qwik ?
and
is there a recommendation for a specific battery ? ( rechargeable is no good, the battery rests inside the body )

thanx :guitar:
 
If I'm understanding you correctly... Any time you leave a cord plugged in to your guitar, you're draining the battery. It's essentially like leaving a battery device "on" the whole time. If you unplug the cable when you're not using the guitar, the battery life will increase significantly.
 
What [MENTION=15168]famous beagle[/MENTION] said. The preamp in acoustic/electric guitars gets turned on when you plug in that cable. Make sure to unplug the cable *from the guitar* when you're done.
