Topic: Walmart LiON, V3, so many questions...

[silverbullet]

So my wife has this portable Wal-Mart Initial DVD she uses with the kids in the car. It came with a charger and batter. I says "let me see" and wouldn't you know it, it's different then the one I bought for my V3.

Maybe someone has a use for this. Mine's not for grabs but maybe Wal-Mart sells these separately. I'm sure there's a way to track it down. Reads Li-ION 7.4 volts 3600mAh. I'm holding the battery. Not much longer than a pen. The rest of the gear is part of the charger.

The other Wal-Mart battery reads 9volt/5400mAh and has a battery charge indicator button on it. The 7.4volt battery does not.

The AC adapter that came with my V3 reads, output: 7.5VDC 1000mA. So I'm thinking maybe the 7.4v battery might be better for my V3 but it doesn't have a battery indicator on it and I don't know how long it will last under recording conditions.

just a heads up on this other Wal-Mart battery.  both the dvd unit and battery has the company name "Initial" written on it.

John, I need to figure out if I can connect a 4-pin XLR or an adaptaplug to that ncharge or powerpad you have. That'd drop my bag weight by about 10 pounds if it works.

I'm sure you could hack off the cable that I already have on there.

i was considering trying to hack a valence when i had my picturebook, and not that i have a different laptop w/ a valence, i should have definantly done it!

i think it would be so freakin easy to hack that fucker and put say a 4 pin on the end...

might wanna check fully charged voltage and fully drained voltage, just to make sur eit will work for you application. i can do that if no one else can...

I was thinking of doing it to, to run the V3 on.  However the model I have is only 5000mAh, less than the walmart batt.  So I figure I'll just keep what I have.

[caymanreview]

ahhh, i have the 10AH model

Yeah if I had that one I'd probably go for it.  As of now the V3 runs on the walmart batt for over 3 hours, which is enough to cover any show I'd tape.  I need to test and see exactly how long I can run it for...

defiunantly john. that would be a pretty sweet setup, i love my valence for my lappy...

how is that modV3 > jb3 working out for you?

i think im gonna move onto a wmod ua5 > jb3 and start saving for a modV3 myself. about to get a promotion at work that will limit my time to tape for a few months but allow me more income to save

[John Kelly]

I *love* the v3 > jb3 combo.  Definitely what I've been looking for.  I just taped the Clumsy Lovers last night and it came out great.  Gonna start a torrent soon.

I just wish some of my other gear would sell.  Money is getting tight after that v3 purchase.

I hate to send it to ebay, but it may come down to it.  I am seriously strapped for cash and I need some of this gear to sell.

I'm even considering selling the MixPre, but I really don't wanna.

Asking $300, but if you think you have another price that is fair PM it to me.
