It wasn't noisy and as long as I started it up and started the recording then threw in alternate power it would be fine, the only problem was the diode was only rated to 1.5 amps so when the drive turned it locked sometimes, after 5 minutes or so.  So what if I got a zener diode that was rated to 2 amps or so?

edit: would this work too? http://shop.store.yahoo.com/laptopsforless/pr2powrunmod.html

ok...  I'll join in the fun.

Problem:
We are currently running the UA-5 off RC batts and the jb3 off 2 internals.  For about 6hrs.  For the festivals we would like MORE POWER!  

Solution:


does that look right?

Questions:
#1 Cheap SLA's  I have seen prices for a 7aH SLA from $10 - 20+ (not including eco charge stuff) Is there a big difference.  We would still use rc batts/internals 95% of the time.  So the SLA won't get used much at all.

#2 Record time?  I know there have been tests... but it's all very confusing.  I've read that the jb3 draws an average of 600mA which seems right.  And that the UA-5 draws around 550mA (not sure where I saw that?) for a total of 1150mA.  Is the math as simple as 7000mAh/1150mA = ~6hrs -- has anyone confirmed these results with tests?  Are you getting more or less time?

#3 The fuse.  Some people add them in, others don't.  In the schematic above if I cut the car adapter out (which I probably will to save space) should I add an inline fuse?  What does the fuse prevent?  It seems like just one more thing that can go wrong.

#4 Running both UA-5 and Jb3 off one battery.  Any problems with this?

1.) I think they are all the same.  I paid ~15 locally probably could have saved a few bucks but i didn't shop around.

2.)  I have a 7.2ah SLA that gets ~15 hrs running both the UA5 and JB3.

3.)  Had one blow on me.  I would recomend protecting them w/ tin foil if you decide to use a fuse.

4.)  None here except for maybe some back problems from all the weight.

alright, i got someone else to check their walmart car adapter for the jb3, and no continuity on the "tip/positive" end either, but it werks!!

also, im doing the 12v sla>wal-mart car adapter>v3>jb3 recording tv to see if the adapter "drops" power over the course of a long run, lets hope we get near 46 hrs ;)

oh, and my internals are in!!

alright, just tested the wal-mart external power method, i got about 35 hrs w/ the walmart car adapter and a 12v 7.2amp battery!

seems to be about 10 hrs less than alex's tests w/ the "real" creative car adapter, but thats fine for me, it actually may have lasted less, because i had my internals in, D'oh!!!

either way, its a jb3 HD worth, which is worth it to me for sure!

im gonna do more tests because im anal and i wanna seee if a full charge w/ the batteryminder may do any change also!!

I saw this on ebay, has anyone tried to see if these work? 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=48517&item=3822454876&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

it looks like it might work, but make sure it puts out a high enough power.

I have a Panasonic LC-R127R2PG1 12V 7.2AH SLA Battery. It just has a positive terminal and a negative terminal. How would I set something up with this to power my JB3? (I am not sure whether to go with a 4-pin, which I dont know how to use here, or to solder on that radioshack DC car outlet adaptor.) Also, where can I buy a charger for these sorts of batteries?

aberg, you need to take those terminals and terminate them into a 4-pin connector!!

lemme see if i can find some pics :)

i know it involves some lamp cord style cable, some cable(nylon) ties, and some nylon cable tie holders, and a handy soldering hand :)

You may want to read some of the posts on building battery packs to answer some of your general questions.  Afterwards please post again if you have questions.

I power by JB3 with a 12V battery and the Wall Mart adapter to go from 12v to 4.5v. Several people are doing it this way.

I will likely only be using my 12v 7.5ah SLA for festivals and multiple band shows... so I won't be having to do tons of charging. Will something like this be sufficient if charging time is of no concern? The price is nice too....

If this will do just fine, then I'm ordering one right away.
