Topic: Power Supply for Nbox instead of 9V

[Josephine]

I have used these 9.6v batteries in my nbox and would advise against it.  Lost a couple good recordings because of it.

Josephine, you used four of those correct....I am recommending using two of these on the change every other show side of the box and regular disposable on the other.   Just thinking that this could be a cost saving measure for those who stealth shows like yourself

Thanks for the first-hand info, Val.

Most of my taping "adventures" average around three hours.  Before each time I go out, I throw two new batteries into my nbox, moving the "every show" batts. into the "every other show" batts. position.  I'm only going through two batteries an adventure; therefore, I really have no complaints about my nbox's battery consumption.  When I first started, I was unhappy because I was using rechargeables.

Using the rechargeables in the manner you suggested, Nic, would work fine . . . . just seems like it'd be more of a hassle than it is worth.  And I've got them sitting right here.  I'd still be putting in two new batteries at a time and I don't really see where you'd be saving anything.

ok, lets forget the rechargables.  I would rather see you leave the change every other show batts in place rather than taking the every show batts and moving them over.  The every show batts at the end of a show, if you started off with 4 fresh will have less voltage than the others.  Just want to see you maximize your battery usage, thats all.

I have had great success moving the every show batts over to the every other show batts.  As stated in another thread with a link on this thread....

1 to 3 and 2 to 4....replacing 1 and 2.  The same way Josephine is talking about.  Somebody was talking about a smaller box with some sort of pin connector that would connect the Nbox to the 9v or other sufficient batt system.  That is a cool idea.  Ya know schoepsnbox I am always trying to have fun modifying the box.

Alex:  Your right.....we're wimps.    Actually I have been told I need a WAAAAMBULANCE on this site so your statement is right on. I just really would like a rechargable Li Ion for this box.    I have stated before I love the box.  Sounds great with the R1 IMO.  Just for the record if anything ever happens to me please bury me with my Nbox....

Just for the record.. Do you mean in a casket with the nbox or cremated with your ashes *in* the nbox?
If the former, what kind of batteries?  Or no batteries because they'll leak?

Hey fluff, speak for yourself.     

Just pop the top off the box and swap the fucking batteries. Takes about 90 seconds max. I do it at festivals such as Bridge School benefit where taping is not allowed and one needs to be discrete about such things.

I did this at the Long Beach Bllues Fest.  Not a big deal.

Hey, can anyone tell me what the NBox and/or provide documentation?  Is this one of jk_labs boxes?  I'm looking at building something like this to power AKG CK61,2,3 capsules.
