I want to Power my Lunatec V3 with AA's

(1/4) > >>

Team,

I recently acquired  a Tascam HDP2 and Lunatec V3. Love the p2 because it can run on AA's for 3 hours easy. Is there any way i can power my 6 volt  V3 with aa's and if so how can i do it ? Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank you

Steve

you can but youd need at least 5 or 6 of them. V3 burns off any voltage above 6V so you ideally want to be 6-8V for max efficiency.

7.2V li-ion is smaller, lighter, and in the proper voltage range across its whole discharge cycle.

something like this with any of the common and cheap NP-F batteries (https://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=193221.0)

I only tape a few times a year so i would like to keep it to AA's. Those Sony batteries look interesting though.

Thank you

Steve

an 8AA sled would give you 8-10 V and would run the V3 for prob 2-3 hours

so youd likely be carting 16 cells for a 2-set show

Steve, I would consider looking into the Talentcell batteries that many TSers have started using over the last few years.  They commonly have 9V and 12V options and would avoid dealing with numerous AAs.  You could still keep AAs in the P2 as a backup, but the 12Vs will run the two units for longer. 

I use the following to power either my V2 or R44.  I think there are other models with higher capacity, too.

You would of course need to get a cable made to interface the battery to your units.  Ted makes those.
