TASCAM BP-6AA External Battery Pack for Handheld Recorders

Designed for mobile recordists, journalists, and filmmakers who need reliable power far away from AC outlets, the TASCAM BP-6AA External Battery Pack is an essential companion for compatible TASCAM portable devices (including the DR-series and other select handheld recorders).

By housing six AA batteries (alkaline or nickel-hydrogen), the BP-6AA multiplies your device’s runtime exponentially—turning standard sessions into multi-hour or multi-day productions without a battery swap. It connects easily to your recorder using a standard USB-to-DC or conventional USB cable, controlled effortlessly via a built-in ON/OFF power switch.

Engineered with field usability in mind, the BP-6AA features a clever pass-through mounting design. It securely attaches directly to the bottom of your handheld recorder using standard 1/4″-20 threading, while retaining a matching tripod socket on its base. This allows you to seamlessly mount both the battery pack and your recorder onto a single tripod, desktop stand, or camera rig without sacrificing stability. Lightweight, durable, and independent, the BP-6AA ensures your audio gear stays powered wherever your creative projects take you.
