Just my $0.02.  I would say $35-40 a piece on here. or $40-50 on ebay would prolly be fair

I would also suggest $35-$40 for a fellow taper, seems reasonable.

Back when I still had my JB3, after they were discontinued, I personally wouldn't have paid more than $30.  But maybe the market's changed since then.

It seems like someone has finally come up with a 3rd party vendor for the batteries...They are on ebay all the time.

Anyone tried these yet...? This vendor seems to have them regularly

Still a bit pricey - but if they last as long as the stock batteries - well worth it...

That looks really interesting. I'd be curious to see if they actually allow that much more run time than the stock batteries.

That's 12 hours of playback of MP3.  That's not recording time.

True.  I just didn't want people thinking that they could get 12 hours of recording per battery.  As I recall, the stock batteries claim to be good for 10 hours each or something like that.

Looks great!  I would check other vendors.  It can probably be had *very* cheap.

I once bought a battery claiming to be for NJB3, but it was not.  Now maybe they exist.

Creative claims 11 hours per battery, 22 hours with two batteries in the JB3. If you read the conditions the ebay seller posts, you'll notice it's in continuous loop playback with no backlight, no EAX, etc. Basically start it playing and leave it alone. Under those conditions I would expect similar results with the stock battery.
