i made this today for the abb and rd show in Camden from parts bought at a radio shack, used to power a jb3 between sets using a rc car battery, like how i power my jb3
testing today, i tell you how it works later
-
if i understand correctly, unless its going to sum the power down to 5v, you could fry the jb3.
i could be wrong, tho.
good luck!
-
I normally just find a power jack to plug into at the venue if using a Nomad.
In camden that's probably not possible.
-
How did the car battery work btw?
-
If your using a 9.6v RC batt....this is not a good idea. Pretty sure it will fry the JB3
-
the PowerRunner is your best friend when it comes to powering the jb3. It has numerous voltage settings on it. Works WONDERFULLY with the jb3. I also use it to power my d8 when I feel like running DAT.

I got a couple of these from Woot (two for tuesday for something like $14 for 2) and love them. You just plug your wall wart into them and they power my JB3 just fine. It has both a normal 110v power plug and a USB out regulated to 5v. When I get a chance I am going to hack a USB cable and use it to power my JB3, since 5v is what the JB3 looks for.

You should be able to use a PSP USB power cable to connect a JB3 to a USB battery

Ok...how/where would I find one of those? I need external power for my JB3 too & I'm not very good with making stuff. Any suggestions?
