The thread happened to be about JB3 External Power. The most reliable, trouble free way to do it, is with a modified Creative Car Adapter, and a 12V SLA. PERIOD.
Buy extra lithium internals if you want, keep 'em all charged, hot-swap em in and out. Mine are about 2.5 years old, and I'm no longer getting full charge out of them. I have no intention of blowing $90 on 2 new ones, when I have a perfectly good pair of SLA's that'll run the JB3 & my V3 for probably 8 hours each.
In a festi setting, there's GOT TO BE time to change these out, moving from stage-2-stage, setting up for the next act, etc.
Why these threads drag on and on, when tried-&-true methods have already been established, is beyond me.
Go ahead, -T me, see if I care <g>...
