condenser mics - battery powered?

Forums

Can anyone recommend some nice condenser mics that are self-powered (battery)? I would like to do some field recording (sampling, sound FX, as well as some vocals & acoustic guitar) and won't have access to phantom power with my setup. I'd like to have some great mics to make this sound as good as I can... suggestions?

Thanks much!

Replacing Internal Battery in Power Tower Pro

Each time I shut down my Power Computing Power Tower Pro 225 (which has a Newer Tech 400 MHz G3 card installed), the date resets to 1956. I assume that this means that the internal battery has failed. Does any one know if this battery is easily removed, socketed rather than soldered in, and if a replacement can be obtained?
