Topic: jb3 external power II...

[kskreider]

This is a much better way to power your jb3 $29.99 from Fred Myer comes with the ends to fit almost everything has a 5volt output setting and is rechargable from the wall and from your car.
4000mah lithium-ion with a little meter like the wallyworld battery only smaller.

I'm a little slow so please be bare with me. Can I just plug this in to the JB3, or do I need to sift through ends to find the right one. And what would happen if I chose wrong.

Yes, you have to choose the proper tip and make sure that the polarity is correct.  If you choose the wrong tip it simply will not fit into the jack on the JB3.  If you polarity is wrong it will not power the unit.  You will know if you have it right because as soon as you plug it in the unit boots automagically.  I use one of the PP99 dealios and it rocks.

I just looked and the tip only goes on one way.  Which Fred's did you get that price at?  That is a great deal.

Anyone know about how much recording time you get with this battery?

I recorded some conferences back in early November that were 8 hour days.  I would tape three, two-hour sessions (really about 1:45 each) with a 15 minute break between two of them with the PP-99 and do the last two+ hours on the internal battery.

The store in Shoreline, WA. About a mile north of Seattle city limits. I lucked out and got the only one on the rack.

Does the PP-99 battery require any hacking of wires in order to power the JB3? From what I got out of this thread is that it comes with adapters and you need to match up the correct ones. Is this right?

Yessir, that is correct.  No hacking required.

I don't know if anyone talked about it before but I've just found this.
It looks like small, not too expensive, usable for powering a single JB3 but I wondered how long... 4200mAh is good isn't it?

according to my calculations about 6 hours

here is Another one I just purchesed.  I hope to get a chance to try it out before wakarusa.  I have confirmed that the Jb3 will power up and so on with it but need to see how it does in the field.

Should be nice for thoise folks who dont know how to solder and just need something they can throw some AA's in and go.

edit to add It runs on 4 AA's.

If you don't mind me asking, what make and model is it?  I'm going to get a Digital Concepts 5v rechargeable for some festivals this summer, but I also have a camping trip that I'll be recording 3 shows in 3 days and will have VERY limited charging abilities.  I wouldn't mind having something that I could just keep plugging AAs into.

Thanks,
Dave
