wondering if i should get a shit-ton of rechargeable aa's for the psp-2 > mod sbm-1 (10 total!) or go the external power route.
the psp2 says it takes 9v max...will it take 6v like the sbm-1?
i have a 6v 7.2AH sla...
what do y'all think?
-
anyone? bueller...

if the psp2 will run on nimh batteries (the psp3 will), it will run on 7.2 volts (6x 1.2v), can't see how you would HURT anything trying it @ 6 v to see if it works.
Why not just run it on internal nimh batteries? Or why not use a 9v wallmart li-ion battery and sell the 6v?

I have run mine on 6volt echocharges with no issues. Seems the battery light flashed a few times when doing this for very long shows but still gave me an hour or so after it started. I now use a custom 9volt that someone else had built for one - looks to be a few cordless phone batteries put together.

hmmm, so if i ran both off the same sla, how much time should i get?
-
wire it up, start 'em running and time it :)
[edit] the unknown is how long the psp2 would run --
my sbm-1 would easily run for 3+ hours on 4x 1,500mah nimh batteries -- so being really conservative, figure those would suck down 2ah of your sla's 7.2 ah of juice. That leaves 5ah for the psp2, but as a battery drains its voltage drops. Fobstl mentions the low battery light coming on when running the psp2 @ 6v, the question is thus at what point the sla's voltage would drop below the shut-off threshold for the psp2 -- unless you can find somebody else running exactly the same setup, the only way I can think of to determine this is to wire these up, start recording and see when they stop passing a signal.

Richard Campbell has a psp2... might want to drop him a line and talk with him about it.

I ran it on 2300mAh rechargeables internally, but they were really too large in diameter to fit well in that cage. I think some 1800s or 1900s will work just fine and give you plenty of power. That think will run forever on a set of AAs.

eaa love you long time running alone off 6v sla, like 10 hours...should have no trouble running a shitmapper and eaa and getting a whole show in.
