If you are out collecting, in your opinion, is it better to have a battery operated air stone, or one with a converter you can plug into the car heater, or both. Pretty sure the distance from the water to the car could dictate a battery powered one, but if you're going a long distance once done with collecting, is a converter better? Is a two hour drive (one way) considered a short or long way when collecting fish? How fast does an air stone "eat up" batteries?
Thanks!

Mander,
I've had batteries last well over 12 hours. Usually I use a battery system from creek to truck. After that I use a converter for longer trips. I get an extension cord and drape it out the window to the truck bed. A very fashionable accessory.

I ran one of those battery affairs for a number of weeks last summer for some blackstripe topminnows on my front porch. It used 2 'D' batteries. They would usually last 2 days, sometimes 3. The Walgreens generics seemed to work as well as name brands (just my observation).
