Default Which MP3 Recorder has the longest recording time?

Hey guys. I'm looking for an MP3 recorder, such as a digital voice
recorder, that has the longest possible recording time. Finding a device
with enough memory to record a few days of material is not a problem.
The problem is I can't find a device that will run for more then 22
hours without changing the batteries. For example:

The reason I'm going for an MP3 recorder over anything else is because
I'm assuming it will have the longest recording time. A tape recorder
for example has a motor that needs powering, whereas an MP3 recorder
does not. If there are alternative recording devices that could give me
an even longer recording time, then that would be perfect.

Kind Regards,

Matt


Just had a thought: if I get a device that has voice activated recording
and has a battery life of, say, 36 hours; if it only spends half of its
time recording and the standby time is ages, then that might be fine.

How good is voice activated recording? Is it the sort of thing that
would record any noise it detects, or does it tend to miss words out?

Kind Regards,

Matt
