Yeah, I'm using the ratshack cigg. adapter power supply doodad.  It runs off a 12v.  Need to figure out a way to run it off a 6v, well, at least power the JB3 off a 6v and save the 12v for the UA-5.  Kind of the opposite of what you're doing I guess...

can you try out the 6v w/ the jb3 to see if it works, thats what i would like to do.  1/2 the wieght right there

also I cant seem to get more than 6 hours off a 12v 7.2ah sla for the ua5 hence the rc packs.  what are you gettin for run times of your 12v?

6 hrs off a 7.2ah 12v seems pretty low to me.  You should get around 13 hrs I believe.  7200 / 450 = 16hrs * .8 = 12.8 hrs.

I'm getting easily over 8 hrs using a 7.2ah 12v and also running the JB3 off the same battery.

The car adapter says input 11v - 16v so I don't think a 6v would work.  I guess I could hook the adapter up and measure the voltage it's supplying....

weird, i assume your TL's draw way more phantom power than my mk012's.  yea my estimates were ~12 hrs.  Maybe i need to try some more tests.  RC packs are going to be much lighter though.  

Would you mind checking the car adapter some time to see if it can work off a 6v.  now i  remember it saying it takes 11-16v.
