Topic: Nomad 3 battery getting rare

[silverbullet]

i ordered 4 for someone else,

I just ordered two myself. It was either one or two batteries. It didn't give me an option to purchase more than two batteries. I guess I'll have to pay another $7.50 in shipping for more batteries.

thats exactly what i had to do

i should ahve just called them,. cause i ordered 4 batts, and a leather case for someone else (roamer) and a set of faceplate kits for myself

did they come in an unruley huge box just floating around in there?

Agreed, the Creative Store is getting WEIRD...

Here's WEIRDER STILL...  I bid on a refurb JB3 from the EBay store in August (instant sale), and then change my mind and don't give them my CC & shipping info.  Then I order 2 batteries, faceplate kit and remote last week.  I get a ship notice and tracking number for the JB3 ORDER from the EBay store, but my account on the Creative Store says the batts/etc shipped under the SAME TRACKING NUMBER...

I can only IMAGINE what the fuck is arriving on the 13th, in a 1.5lb package...

Same thing happened with me with an ipod case company, needless to say I had a very expensive bunch of ipod cases given to me for free.

it isnt necessarily people i have a problem with, it is business's. ive never had an actual person to person sale have anything shipped remotely like the last 2 packages ive gotten (V3 and jb3 batts)

My first refurbished JB3 came packaged nicely. I'll let you know about my next JB3 and batteries when I get them next week or so. I need to order some faceplates to help distinquish my JB3's, might as well get some batteries along with it.

What is so useful about the wired remote?

Thanks for the order. That's weird from Creative. I have seen large box when ordering CDs, but usually they fill in with paper / polystyrene / ...
Worst shipping I've seen so far is from Nuclear Blast Germany for the 'One Ltd Ed Box' from Nightwish. The CD was loosely fix to the bottom of the snowing ball, therefore getting all king of scratch during transport, plus the heavy snowing ball was damaging the displaying box ...
Back to the subject, would be interesting to see how long the PowerPlant external battery can power the jb3 for festival time ...

i pm'd kindguy about it, but never got back with me *shrug*

What is so useful about the wired remote?

I'm hoping it can be used to start/stop recordings, and just to see if the thing is running while recording (as I already know it doesn't show levels).  Mine runs behind a V3 always, so I don't care about levels - but the way my rig sets up, if I put it in a bag, I can't see the JB3 - so it'd be nice to be able to start it, lock it, and just see the track time as it's rolling.

If that doesn't work, I'll make an extension for it, wire it to the dashboard of my Electra Glide, and mount the JB3 in the TourPak instead of velcro'ing it to the gas tank console...

you know... i was always wondering about the wired remote... can it show you if you are recording or not?  that would kick some serious ass.  I personally never have to worry about levels either, and it would be great to justlook at the wired remote to see what is going on as well...

some info from kindguy - the battery plugs right into the jb3 and it powers it up no problem.  he wasn't sure how long it'd last, but he figured it was around 10 hours from his experiences with it. 

so one of these with 2 internals will probably easily get you 15 hours.  and the fact that they're only $15 - i'll take two!  way better than buying internals if you ask me, especially if you don't need to stealth it really.  and if you its the same size as a cd case, which isn't that bad.

hmmm, lets get testing, if this works out, im gonna buy about 4 of em, maybe five, tahts still under 100 dollars

[Ed.]

yeah, considering the price of the internals now, this thing is badass.

[F.O.Bean]

dumb question, but how do you recharge that powerplant battery?

it says off your components charger, but how would it charge if the jb3 ac charger is in? where would the powerplant powerplug go?
