(repeated from another thread)
Just get several internal batteries.  The 1st battery slot is hot-swappable.  Just make sure the second one never runs out (swap after 5 hrs, then every 3 hrs thereafter).  Better yet, just stop and swap both, surely there's a 30 second gap in a 6+ hr recording session.

Actually, you can only record 3-hour files anyway, 2GB file limit.

Ya, that would work, but its not really practical for a festival setting which is really the only time most would be looking to use external power...

I'm confused, what is it about a festival setting that makes it impractical to hot-swap batteries every 3 hours when you have to access the NJB3 every 3 hours anyway?

The thread happened to be about JB3 External Power.  The most reliable, trouble free way to do it, is with a modified Creative Car Adapter, and a 12V SLA.  PERIOD.

Buy extra lithium internals if you want, keep 'em all charged, hot-swap em in and out.  Mine are about 2.5 years old, and I'm no longer getting full charge out of them.  I have no intention of blowing $90 on 2 new ones, when I have a perfectly good pair of SLA's that'll run the JB3 & my V3 for probably 8 hours each.

In a festi setting, there's GOT TO BE time to change these out, moving from stage-2-stage, setting up for the next act, etc.

Why these threads drag on and on, when tried-&-true methods have already been established, is beyond me.

Go ahead, -T me, see if I care <g>...

Ah, well if you've got a V3 to power as well, that's another story.  Still I don't weep for someone complaining about battery costs for a $1500 preamp/AD  :P

were not complaining here bud, were simply talking, online, dont like it, dont friggin post, nuff said!!!

rick, i keep posting because i wanna do this EXACTLY right, i dont like messing w/ batts in the firstb pl;ace, so this kinda freaks me out in the first pl;ace

also, d00d, we cannot charge all those internals, if you have 1 jb3 and 4 batts, once they are drained, they need recharged, and that takes DOUBLE time w/ 2 sets of batts, which SUX, so why not run internal+external????

your hot-swap methods are nice but arent reasonable at most times

I wasn't complaining - just wondering why we're 4 pages deep into this thread already?  I bought 2 complete EC-90 systems at the same time I got my V3 and my matched stereo pair of TLM-170's (over $6K total - merry fucking christmas to me - Ho Ho Ho - actually, I let my BUSINESS pay for it, so it's a WRITE OFF TOO).  Nor was I (or bean) looking for sympathy.

What questions do you have left Bean-o?  Be more than happy to assist, even with a phone call if need be.  

I know you want to get it right.  Nothing SUCKS MORE than getting out in the field, and having shit not work right (especially if you've got 20 people running out of you, when the RatShack rechargable 9V dies on your C02 - been there, done that kimmock 12/27 Avalon Ballroom - 1st time out with the new rig).

I have a question....how does it regulate from teh 12V SLA to the 5V needed(req'd) by the JB3??  I dont understand?

sorry to keep this thread going
