Although, you COULD put a 12 volt motorcycle battery into the Sat 800. The
handle would probably break when you try to lift it

No where did I say how many hours I get with batteries - I merely
said
the set eats them up quickly. I get at least 20 hours on batteries
which, to me, is a waste of money.

One expects such a large radio with so much energy-intensive circuitry
to
suck down the batteries.. most boom-boxes have atrociously short
battery
life. I find the Grundig YB-400 to be especially bad on batteries..
even if
you don't use the radio, the batteries will die within a couple weeks
or
so.. and if you do use it, you get far less than 20 hours (of course,
those
are AA, and not D size.. )

A box the size of the SAT 800 uses AA batteries? With all that room why
did they do that? A good modification would be to install a D cell pack
or some type of rechargeable battery.


No no... the YB-400 uses the AA batteries.. I guess I was not too clear..
Guess Stephen King has nothing to worry about from my writing skills..
