Hello friends. I have one of the audio players/recorders from Radio Shack similar to those used in greeting cards. I measured about 11 ma during play. I am powering it with (4) rechargeable 2500 mah lithium AA cells in series to achieve 9 volts so that comes to 227 hours if played continuously. The problem is that I am activating the playback about once per second for a short sound effect and I don't know what the duty cycle is. I could guess and say 50% etc. but I am trying to figure out a way to get an actual current measurement for a fixed period of time like a minute or hour etc. Forgive me if I'm overlooking something simple. Thank you.
