The V3 comes in 6v & 12v models.  The 6v models work fine with the 9v DVD batteries.  It's easy to siwtch from a 12v tp 6v, just call Grace Designs and they can walk you though it or see this thread...  http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,76479.msg1019259.html#msg1019259

If you've got the 6v model, buy Ted's cable.

I think his question is, "Can he power the V3 and 722 off the same battery".

I don't know the answer, but I like my 744 to run off the attached battery. No connections to come loose.

I also use 2 DVD batteries per V3. I don't like being short on power.

 i did not mean for 1 battery to run both at the same time. i just meant for the same type of battery to be able to run both.

i believe the answer is yes from the posts.  thanks for all the help...

Okay, I am finally getting serious about going lithium. I just bumped the V2 thread but I guess I should also post this here. Is this the Walmart battery?

Battery run time is determined by:  5.4 amps X 9 Volts = ~48 Watt hours, so divide this by the wattage being consumed by the powered device with all features intended used being turned on and loaded by your mics to know how many hours maximum to expect.

The eBay 9-volt dvd batteries will power a V3 for a long time, easily 4 hours.   After 3 hours, it's just down 1 notch on the power meter, for example.

Hello, a bit off track but I just purchased a Tekkeon 3450 to power my V3, initial power up with the new fully charged battery and my "Low Batt" light is flashing, I have read that it could be the voltage is too low?  What is strange to me is that the light flashed but never shuts the unit down, doing some testing now to see how long until it fails.

Has anyone else experienced this? I ask because I have 2 older batteries and found they also demonstrate the same "Low Batt" light flashing when used, which is why I purchased a new battery. My concern is the issue with the V3 or the battery or connection?

I am planning to buy some of Ted's cables but want to make sure I do not have a problem with the V3, which was recently serviced by Grace.

any help is welcomed,

Tim

From the manual.....

LOW BATT
For the 6 Volt V3, the low battery indicator flashes if the battery voltage drops below 5.75V. For the 12 Volt V3, the low battery indicator flashes if the battery drops below 11.5V.

For 6V operation use a 7.5V, 1.0A power supply. For 12V operation use a 12V, 1.0A power supply.

Did you set the tekkeon at 7.5v or 6v?  6v may only be suppling the 5.75v mark that kicks in the "low Batt" light.  The same thing may be going on with your 6v SLAs.

Thanks for the info, I am running a test to see how long it will actually run, but you confirm my thinking. It (V3)  is new to me still and my learning curve is uphill from a confidence viewpoint on how long it will last with "low batt" flashing.

Model: MP3450: Capacity 50 Wh Output Voltage DC: 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 9V, 12V, 14V, 16V, 19V

I will do some reading to see about setting the voltage, I thought it would be an automatic but could be wrong.

Should I worry about any harm? Love the support here.

Thanks,

Tim
