[Marcoscine]

Hi all.
First i'm apologize my poor english. I'm from brazil.
I'm thinking to use this thing : (http://cgi.ebay.com/Portable-5V-9V-12V-DC-Rechargeable-CCTV-Li-ion-battery-/260604622394?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cad3ef63a#ht_2990wt_911) connected with 5v out to Tascam Dr-100. Anyone have tried this before? This combination have some chance to work like DR-680 + 12v Lion Battery or 9v DVD Li-Ion Battery?
Thanks.

That looks like a powerful battery....

Specification:
Dimension: 12 x 7 x 2.5CM
Out Put:
12V Dc: 6500ma
9V Dc: 8500ma
5V Dc: 15000ma

You would have to build a USB power cable > the tip size your recorder.  I believe most of the tascam dc plug sizes are 5.5mm OD and 2.1mm ID but I am not familar with the DR-100.  You would also want to make sure that the 5v usb has enough amps to properly run the dr-100.  See this thread for details....

Here is some more info on the battery.  It seems that the only down falls are that there is no battery level indicator and one of the links says that it takes 12-16 hours to recharge that battery!
