What's the battery life like, with phantom power turned on, and assuming fully-charged eneloops?
According to the Sound Devices Manual, to give you a ballpark figure, with Duracell AA MN 1500 Alkaline batteries with a condenser microphone (48V) and 75-ohm headphones at high levels, you can expect about 8 hrs. of run time. It's always good to do your own testing.

If I buy this MM1 device, can I use it with the MIX PRE-3 II or do I no longer need it? Please help
You indeed could either use the MM1 preamp to feed a line level input in the MixPre-3 II or you could use the MixPre-3 II's preamps alone. Both preamps are fantastic and transparent, so it rather comes down to if you prefer the nuances of one over the other. In terms of need, the MixPre-3 II doesn't require any external preamps to function as it itself can very well amplify source content.

question
Will this work to provide line level control and phantom power to an Alexa Mini, and if so, what other components would be needed to ensure it works well?
Yes, you need to make sure you have the appropriate phantom power setting; 48volt is the most common, and make sure your Alexa is set to line level input. All you need is 2AA batteries, a microphone, and two XLR cables. One to connect the mic to the MM1, and another to go out of the MM1 to the Alexa. Recommend energizer ultimate lithium batteries. They'll last days.

question
How do I use the included DC connector? Do you plug a cable into it?
Hi, My MM1 come with the plug but not the cable, but you can easily ensamble that plug to a cable on a power supply or battery rack. I hope that helps you. (and sorry about my English)

question
what cables do I need to hook this up to my 70d??
Looks like you'll need to purchase a XLR F to 3.5mm (mono) male cable. The output of the SD MM-1 is Line level. So, the cable will need to be the type that can attenuate line level down to Mic level for the 70D to receive.

question
If I used this preamp with a recorder (TASCAM DR-40) at what setting should I put the audio gain in the recorder? I will be using it with a pro camcorder two, which has its own audio gain manual control, what gain setting should I use there too? Or should I adjust it while monitoring until I reach my sweet spot ?I'm still in the learning process.Thanks in advance :)
The output of the MM-1 is a Pro level line output. The DR-40 should be set for a line input. Nelson
