The battery in my tripple talk will run the synthesizer for a little while, but then, after no power from the usb connection for about 4 or so hours, it begins to make noise! :) If our power goes off during the night, I get a rude awakening from my wife, I guarantee! Tempting to take out the battery because who knows whether or not it may leak? or corrode? causing other issues.
