So, since the Gaia can run on batteries, I had to try it out. I put in 8 AA batteries and crossed my fingers.

It powered up!

I proceeded to run through a few patches using my headphones as a monitor. 2 minutes later all 8 batteries were completely drained. Dead.

Maybe just cheap batteries . Anyone else have this experience?

Hi gaiaadmin,

From page 14 of the Owner's manual:

Batteries that can be used
• When using nickel-metal hydride batteries, the battery
life will be approximately five hours of continuous
use at room temperature. However, if USB memory is
connected, the battery life will be approximately four
hours. The battery life for continuous use will depend
on factors such as the conditions of use.

NOTE
Do not use alkaline batteries or zinc-carbon batteries.
