Just picked this up at Wal Mart. I wanted to use it as a charger for my JB3. It says on a few spots on this that it is not meant to recharge batteries. Anyone ever used this before for charging up your JB3 or anything else and run into problems? I have a few shows coming up where I won't be able to get home to charge up my JB3 and want it ready to go for show time. Any help would be great.

You'll be fine since the JB3 itself is the one charging the batteries. They mean they don't want you hooking the thing up directly to a battery since it has no way tell when a battery is fully charged and automatically shutoff.
That is what I figured. The batteries part seemed fuzzy. +T for the help.

yep, listen to that man, ive used it numerous times driving from show to show recharging :)
its pretty quick at recharging too, if you dont turn on/off the car a bunch
Just saw this guy at Best Buy this weekend. It has a 5v setting on it:

hehe, thanks, but trust me, ive done sooo much reading on the jb3 that i pay attention to small things like that ;D
and besides, i wouldnt want anyone to go buy it and hook it up and BAM, not enuf juice to power it up, i believe it powers up at about 1500mah, and then while recording/playback goes down considerably, maybe down to about 250-500 mah or below :)
