Title: Need modern Talentcell to power Mini-me
Post by: capnhook on September 17, 2024, 09:06:17 PM: Finally going to give up powering my Apogee Mini-Me with old 9V DVD batteries

I'll keep them around to power my r-44 though..

Many of you kind tapers gifted me your spares when you were done with them, thanks

Mini-Me draws 5.5W of power from any 6-14V DC supply

Is there a better model than this one for my needs? Should I run the 9V output to get the longest run time from it?

Also using them with V3 and Ad2k.

No issues at all.

Post by: capnhook on September 19, 2024, 08:55:40 PM: I can report a first-time run of 15 straight hours with the minime AES out into a r-44, 48V phantom powering our Busman mic

Went down to a single LED, and I stayed there for the last hour, then ended the test.

If it charges in 9 hours, that's a full day's work......PASSED

2 DVD batteries to power the r-44 were enough for the 15 hour test

Post by: rocksuitcase on June 06, 2025, 12:59:53 AM: 0This IS a great battery solution. I use one for a Grace V2 and another for a Tascam DR-680. Last weekend, for a 10 hour festival they ran down to 2 bars and I was surprised at that, that it didn't stay at three bars, as I know we've done 14-15 hour days with these things.
