Murdering 9volts

I am using a 9 volt to power the circuits and a 6v to power 2 servos. VERY little use while just setup and testing. The 9v was dead in just under 12 hours. Is this normal? My application is going to call for very little use of the ssc-32 board but I will need it to stay on a battery for 24/48 hours. If the ssc32 is going to eat 9volts I might have to look into a deep cycle type golf cart battery. I read that the circuits can be powered with 6 volts, but does hits have any effect on the operation? Ive also seen 8volt deep cycles. Any thoughts?

The SSC-32 logic portion draws about 60mA. An alkaline 9vdc battery has about 600mAh. So it should run the SSC-32 for 10 hours. They make lithium 9vdc batteries that supply 1200mAh which would give you 20 hours. Hope this helps…

great thats just what I needed to know…Im guessing thats in the manual somewhere too…thanks again!
