Topic: My JB3 festival power rig

[twatts (pants are so over-rated...)]

Thanks, +T for the props!!!

Actually, I made one at the same time for Big Ray and used a WallyWorld addapter for that one...  Tell you wot, that Wally adapter is kinda cheapie.

And I'm afraid the voltage switch will get accidentally switched at some point frying my JB3...

Think $40 for an adapter is expensive???  Remotes are running for $50-$70 on Ebay...

I put a small dab of Epoxy on mine to keep it locked @4.5 , it aint going no where 

why the remote ? , seems it would be a battery killer .

Good idea on the epoxy...

The remote allows you to check time and start/stop recordings.  I thought it would be useful, I can access my recorder without opening the bag...  I really like the D100/M1 remote.  The only thing is, I wish the JB3 remote had level meters like the D100/M1 remote...

• Car power adapter socket doubles to power your portable 12-volt accessories—camcorder, wireless phone, pocket TV, tire pump, and much more
Would this work with the AC wall adapter provided by Creative- pluged directly into the JB3, or would you still need a power inverter?  Seems it would be easier to have the all in one battery and charger? 

Just curious?

only puts out DC, so you would need an inverter. It is huge and weighs a ton too. Would be better off with a 12v SLA

Just get that Car jumper thing and the Creative Car thinger...you'll be set...

[TODDOW]

You mean attach these thingies?
 

[hexyjones]

No dork - the Creative car adapter...

Just plug that into the cigarette lighter socket on the battery...

Forget all that inverter stuff...

terry, what will you use to charge the batt and check if top-off is needed?
