A TI PT78HT205 and a couple of caps will get you regulated +5V at 2A with a huge input range of 9-28 VDC.  Total parts cost is under $20 from DigiKey even in single unit quantities.  Wastes less power than a 7805, too...

Hmmmmm...very, very interesting.  So...for those comfortable with our soldering skills (but not terribly knowledgable about schematics and such - e.g., don't know what a "cap" is), what would this schematic look like, exactly?

http://www-s.ti.com/sc/ds/pt78ht205.pdf is your friend.

Should have mentioned that I found a really cool 100 µF cap for this, miniscule size with excellent HF performance.  It's a surface mount device but easy to attach directly on the PT78HT205 with a couple of clipped leads and an iron.  DigiKey p/n 399-3054-1-ND

Might also want to add a PTC in series with the battery lead if your battery packs don't already have these in them.

Duh.  Thanks, recordista, should've checked the manufacturer's spec sheets.  If I do it, I'm definitely gonna PTC fuse the sucker to be safe.

It should be mostly charged.  Storing SLA's less than fully charged is bad for the battery, but it's rare to get a completely charged one off the shelf.

whats up drew.  yea it is charging my jb3 right now w/ it's charge, had to murder the Creative ac adapter because i am impatient.  I am assuming the SLA should drain completely before charging.  I generally plug in a series of 12v automotive batteries for this.  Also picked up something similar to what you got for the JB3 power inverter from radio shack.  Will be making another trip tomorrow to grab up the adapter for the UA5 and the makings to repair my AC adapter.

I also got the ~$12 wall wart charger Altex had pretty sure it is not "smart".  The only other one they had were the fancy ~$45 ones.  I also stocked up on RCA barrels and other adapters, very cheap.

Let me know if you guys want some pictures and i'll snap a few.

A buddy of mine who tapes was wanting to market those puppies towards the taping crowd.  He used one for his M1 also and said it ran it for a real long time.

damn, i don't know if i should spend the money and buy all of this or what.  i hate being poor.


Because nothing says "I have lots of money and am sort of confused as to how to spend it" like Bose.

Hey, when I left for school, the JB3 had been running for 24 hours!!! Ill let you know if its still running after school. The DMIC has pretty good run time, my smallest battery will run it for 7 hours and my others upwards of 9! Ive been swiching them out for the tests so the DMIC keeps going! I think the hosa battery will probably die before the JB3 though... :'(

Yeah..if it goes that long I won't need the other 12V so I'll put it up for grads cheap...lets see...although maybe I could use it to keep the ua5 rockin'... :hmmm:
thats alot of weight though...IDK we'll see. Thanks for the test though swampy.
