1st let me say thanks to everyone who has helped me learn more about JB3 and HD recording
Sanjay and spyder9 for sure
ok i have searched, been directed, saw threads/reviews elsewhere on JB3's power
i have a jb3 on the way to me now and wanted to get more power, not just have the one battery that comes with it
i would like to see if the info i gathered here is correct and get opinions on what would prob be best for me/everyone as a whole
these are the 4 otions i have found
Bumblebee VR Box hooked to a Initial 9v 5400 mAh battery -- i am also lost as to what mAh means or how you guys translate it to total power/runtime
http://taperssection.com/index.php?topic=38210.0pros...
runs 2 units at once -- i also don't understand how a 9v battery can output 5 and 6v at once, i guess that doesn't add up to 11v output like i thought it would
will work with power over 12v
cons...
Power Runner 2310
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=919pros...
small, battery and VR all in one, runs a jb3 for like 9hrs
cons...
if the battery dies over time you need to replace the whole unit
Initial Battery > VR (Sima)>
http://www.markertek.com/Product.asp?baseItem=SUP%2D1&cat=POWER&subcat=&prodClass=ACPOWER&mfg=Sima&search=0&off=pros...
if the battery dies you can still use the VR with a new battery
cons...
you need to rig it VR to hook to the battery, its not plug and play out of the box
Power Plant
http://www.pwrplant.com/cd.htmlpros...
cheap, small, all in one
cons...
not everyone can get it to work and/or work long enough to be good for recording shows
Creative Battery
pros...
works no question or messing around, compact as it fits in the recorder
cons...
cost compaired to other options/record time, poss overheating issues
now if this info is right or wrong please lmk
also lmk what you think is the best all around
i am leaning to the Bumblebee and Power Runner
the Bumblebee i think would cost about $30-40 more overall but would run 2 devices
since i don't use a V3 or UA-5 thats not really an issue (i use a ad-20, which i havn't seen or think will run with the bumblebee)
so that why with the long record time of the power runner i was thinking that might be better for me
please lmk what you think is best overall and what would be best for me
thank you
