V3, 6 volt vs. 12 volt
« on: March 31, 2003, 02:46:32 PM »
Do you have to do anything internally to have the V3 run on 12 volt power, or will it work with either 6 volt or 12 volt. Seems that that only difference is when the battery lights start to come on.

You're right about that... just be careful not to kill your SLA if you don't change the jumpers and run for a long time  ;)

Yeah, I'm gonna give 'em a go.  I really like my SKM140s, but I've found myself really enjoying the extra layer of detail I hear in the Schoeps CDs in my collection.

I'm not totally sold on which I like best, yet.  I'm fortunate enough to be in a position where I don't have to sell the SKM140s immediately, so I'm going to do some 1st/2nd set comparisons before I make my final decision.

Hmmmmmm...gearslut.net and .com are taken, but gearslut.org is still available...  lol

Hi All,

V3 run time should be the same on a 6volt or a 12volt.  The only difference is that it will run hotter (not problematic) if using a 12volt.  As previously mentioned, the 12volt setting is really just a battery protection.  Folks in the film industry use a lot of 12v equipment and often prefer to have all devices operating on the same voltage.

Personally, I have always had a my V2/V3's at 6volts even though I hit them with a 12volt.  This way, you can run either.  The reverse is not true.

One exception on batteries in the Eco-Charge EC-90 which utilizes a really cool voltage regulator that does not burn up the excess voltage in heat.  People using the EC-90 with a V3/V2/DA-P1 or other 7.5 or 6volt device will actually get nearly double the run time from them as they would with a 6volt or standard 12v battery.

I hope this helps.

Marc

Here's what you can do if you have a 12 power cable for your v3 and want to change it to 6v (i know this b/c i grabbed the wrong cable and wanted to change it):
On a 12v (EC-90) cable the "hot wires" are numbers 1(black)&3(red) and numbers 2&4 are jumpered together.  To change it to work with a BP-50 just clip the cables off of the #2&4 so they are empty and then move the #1 to the #2 spot and sodder it!  Make sure the keep the red cable in spot 3!  
Thats it...alls good to go with a 6v battery/cable for your v3!
