Yeah I was going for the 5v. I just emailed the guy to see if he has any in stock, if he does I'll order it today. Only bad thing is it is coming from Australia

does that plug fit the jb3, or do you have to order it with a different plug?

Sure, but why not just make your own?  8x AA holders are easy to find and if you're using rechargeables, you don't need the regulator.

http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T042/1195.pdf lists them for $1.46 and you'd need about ten minutes to rewire the pack for 5V.  There are also C and D cell options.

Test is done, I got 20+ (closer to 21) for both UA5 and JB3 off of a 12V 12ah battery.

I think I will test once more because my battery on my JB3 was not full and some time was spend in the beginning recharging the JB3. Not sure if this would effect it but I have another 12V I 'm going to test so we'll see anyway.

Yea if the JB3 is not charged it will suck i belive twice as much power.  FWIW i got 15+ hours running JB3 > home digi-mod UA5 > MK012  off a 7.2ah SLA.

What mics you running

MK 4V > KCY 250/5 Ig (KS 10I)  > VST62IUg > 722

Why would you not need the regulator?  Everyone seems to agree that the JB3 is pretty fussy on needing 5V....AA,C,D batteries are all either 1.2 or 1.5 volts each.

I'm gonna need a 9V  batpack for this new HD recorder of mine.

The guy Styx linked to looks pretty interesting.  If I'm running NiMH in those, and the Neuros uses:

DC output: 9V at .8 amp

what does this mean in hours of use if this guy's 9V batpack rated at 14.4 Wh?

I know a*v=w but they threw hours in there and it fucked me all up :-D

so could one buy the (4) AA holder and fill it with 3 1.2v batts and a 1.5 bringing us to 5.1v?  is this too high for the Jb3 ?

How about 4x 1.2v batts + 4.8v will this run it? Im still suprised that the 4.5v car adaptor run's it ok.

 I just put together a SLA pack for the JB3 and UA-5 already. That is what I will be using at the upcoming Fest , But I will also be taping alot of Indoors (2-3 hour) shows.  And I was thinking this may be a bit nicer/lighter for the short shows as that way i could just lug the SLA around for fest's only.

well, it said it has a regulato, so it will keep it a constant voltage, no worries

it's actually an 8 battery holder and the guy says he uses circuits to regulate voltage no matter what you put in it ???

You probably don't want to mix NiMH and alkaline batts, and besides - the voltage would be too high.  Though NiMH rechargable cells are rated at 1.2v and alkaline cells are rated at 1.5v, the actual output voltage of each is significantly higher.

I've read reports from some people who've had success running the NJB3 off 4 x 1.2v NiMH rechargable cells, and others report the need to drain the batts a bit to drop the voltage to fit within the NJB3's narrow voltage range.  I'm going to try it out this spring as I have 4 x D-cell NiMH's not being used right now.
