Title: Nomad
Post by: he11yeah on February 19, 2004, 04:39:26 PM
so i just got done making my Bat pack for the UA-5 and then looked at the JB3 and started wondering how much time would i get off of one of the R/C 6v Battery's the njb3 says 5v so would that be a bad thing to make a batt pack or no.

The messagboard's Advanced Search (http://www.taperssection.com/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=10460) functionality is your friend.   :)  Found using keywords "JB3" and "power":

Get the second battery. The only problem is running it at fests. For any 2 set show the 2 onboard batteries are the way to go. It runs at least 5 hours on the 2 batteries

6.5 would be great if you can get that outta it, thats enough for an opener and then most 2 set bands also

Just get several internal batteries.  The 1st battery slot is hot-swappable.  Just make sure the second one never runs out (swap after 5 hrs, then every 3 hrs thereafter).  Better yet, just stop and swap both, surely there's a 30 second gap in a 6+ hr recording session.

And do not use an external 6V battery.  It says 5V and it means it.  I read that it chokes hard at 5.6V, and can be damaged.
