Topic: 7.2 vs/ 9v Li-ion for a V3?

[sheffield]

are there any pro's and con's when considering these two dif voltages for a v3 that is 6v, I just got ed's cable for the li-ion b/c the bag was getting a bit heavy with using eco charge systems.  Any help would be appreciated, bonnaroo and other festivals are coming up and I needed a battery option.   Shane Sheffield

Yep. I believe the only thing you will notice is the 9V will be a tad bit warmer.

I am charging two 6v/12ah sla's as we speak. I dread carrying this shit around. Can you give me a link to the cable you bought and the battery it goes to? Thanks and +t

I found the cable at kind kables. The one thing that I worry about is this thing with the fuse blowing in these Wally batteries. Is that a huge issue?

the v3 can handle both ok, the 9v one causes the v3 to run a bit warmer but no big deal.
All I have are 9v LI-on's

I have two of the Wally type 9Vs for my V3, and have never had an issue.  I always bring two, and since the thread about the possible short, I keep one of the chargers, which are pretty small, in the bag, in case I ever have to do a field reset.  Never had to so far.

Thanks for the info, Im hoping that two of them will give me about 10hrs of running time on the v3.   sheffield

i ran my v3 until the a>d quit working at 4.5 hrs on 1 9v, fwiw.  so anyone got a link to the best price on them?  i need one more.  no luck though, all i can find is $65, not a bargain....

b&h is where I bought mine at as well.  Im wondering since I use the 722 a/d and not the v3 if I will be able to get a longer recording time out of the 9v?

yes, make sure v3 adc is off. make sure ANSR is OFF and no sampling rate is set
