The Sharp 702 has an optional external battery pack that holds AA batteries
and extends the life of the LION battery that is in the unit and
rechargeable. The 702 is also very inexpensive as you can buy a new one for
around $160 and refurbished ones for less. I have two of them and am very
satisfied. As long as none of your animals are playing french horn, you
shouldn't have any problems [grin].
With just the LION battery, you get about 4.5 hours of recording on a full
charge. With just two AA batteries, you get about 4 hours, and if you have
both connected you get about 8.5 hours. That should be plenty for your
requirements.
You also get the ability to adjust the recording level on the fly while you
are recording which you don't get with Sony.
I think the Sharp 722 which is a bit more money will record even longer with
the above.
