Title: JB3 and m1 powering solution
Post by: thinkbig on August 11, 2004, 07:08:45 PM: Thought I'd finally show everyone my M1 powering idea which works on JB3's too.

Its a rechargable battery you can get at all " Battery Plus " stores or from their website.

http://www.pwrplant.com/cd.html

I used my last one for nearly 2 years before it wont hold a charge and it less than $20.
They are designed for portable CD players ( 4.5 volt ) and work excellent for M1's. I loaned it to a friend to stealth with a JB3 and he had no problems. They charge from the ac adapter of the M1.

Check it out...

Post by: fossman on August 20, 2004, 03:12:19 PM: Does anybody know if this unit will also work with the 20gig IRiver portable hard drive? Just curious. I have a Sony PCM-M1 DAT and will be ordering this unit for use on my DAT but it would be a double bonus if it also worked on my IRiver. Anybody?? Thanks a lot. If you want to email me directly with a reply you can do so at brianalandunn at yahoo dot com. Thanks again.

Cheers,

Brian

Post by: F.O.Bean on August 25, 2004, 10:20:48 PM: i bet if it did work, it would last about 10 hrs+ for sure, because a 7.2 amp lasted about 40+ hrs :)

So, how did this end up working out for you?

Post by: thierryhenry on January 28, 2005, 10:27:54 AM: I think it was said in the Remote Power section that these unforunately didn't work for powering the JB3, like we hoped..

Correct guys?

Post by: cgrooves on January 28, 2005, 01:07:48 PM: I looked into purchasing one of these a few months ago (for my m1 in festival settings).
Seems like I read it would power the m1 for approx. 10 hours (as stated above).
When I went to order one from the site listed in this thread, I backed out, because the shipping alone cost about half as much as the battery from what I recall. If you could find one local it would be a good deal. I opted for 4 rechargeable ratshack double A's, which will give me 10 hours use as well, and not add bulk to my gear bag. The AA rechargeables have gotten better & better.
