Voltage question

[Jim P]

I have a voice recorder that uses 2 AAA batteries.
I only get about 8 hours of recording out of the 2 batteries and I would
like to attach a power supply
by soldering it to the battery terminals. How many volts can I apply to the
device without frying the circuits?

The configuration of the batteries are as follows

In series, 2 AAA cells give you 3V, so that's what you should use.

The terminals on one end of the battery holder will be connected
together in order to connect the cells in series. Solder your
supply connections to the other terminals, + to + and - to -.
