I found a solution to this problem quite by accident. Andy had sent the list a link to a discussion on external power sources for the Zoom F8 which - in the main - was also appropriate for the Zoom F8N. I took note of the various batteries suggested and was making plans to purchase as soon as as I could, that is until I went through one of the bottom draws of my filing cabinet and discovered a Ravpower variable voltage Powerbank that I had completely forgotten about. This beauty should do the trick of powering the Zoom F8N quite nicely given that it has a voltage range from 9 to 20 volts. The bank also offers 2 USB ports so charging a mobile phone as well as powering the recorder is possible. I need to get an adapter to fit between the Powerbank and the recorder and thanks to the useful information provided in the discussion I shouldn’t have any problem doing that. So things have been made incredibly easy for the external supply and thanks again to Andy for passing this on. When I have the system up and running the power will come from the external supply when away from the AC mains. When the supply is exhausted the recorder will switch to the internal AA battery supply so the question will be just how long the Ravpower Powerbank will last? As a footnote the Zoom F8N can be powered from external power from any voltage between 9 and 18 volts.
