Title: Battery geek BG 10-14-88
Post by: Jhurlbs81 on April 03, 2007, 10:47:48 AM
So I've decided this is probably the battery for me.  I'm going to have my V3 switched over to 12v when I get the poliarty issue corrected.  I want to run my AD2k and the V3 off this battery.  How difficult would it be to run both devices off a single battery?  Does anyone know the mAH for this battery?

Thanks
Jesse

8000 mAh is the rating, it will put out a max of 8 amps whiich should power two devices.  The pack of connectors it comes with is very good, but always center post (tip) positive, unlike the Radio Shack Adapt-a-plugs on which you can reverse polarity.

Can anyone tell me if the output jack on this battery is the same size as on the Wal-Mart Li-ions?

Thanks.

Mine came with about 14 different connectors. One fit into my 671 perfectly.

I love the battery - have not killed it yet

I run the same setup as you and estimate at least 6 hours, but I haven't put it to the test yet. Have yet to drain the 10-14-88 below 75% even with a portico.

The link might help some.

I just bought two new batteries...wish I would have shopped a little more. But I might be covered with a Universal for both the R4 & PMD660 and a DVD battery for the R4.

It is NOT the same size as the Wallys. I have both, and cannot recommend the 10-14-88 enough. I wish that I had bought one of their six volts, rather than two Wallys.  The 10-14 uses an adaptaplug size M.  The Wally plug is smaller.  Hope this helps.

First time testing this http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=375503&is=REG&addedTroughType=search with my R4. I ran it for 5.5 hours of stereoX1 (16/44.1 with phantom and lite screen) and had it just turned on but not recording for another 4 hours and didn't get the battery below low setting. I think I'll be fine until I'm looking to unload another $150. That with the Universial battery I should set for a good 10 hours run time. I should buy a couple attenuators instead. Could two of the above provide more power than the 10-14-88?

For festivals, I don't mind packing a little more weight for the price break.

^ Never mind your answer. I'm drunk and just bought another above mentioned battery and the two attenuators (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=Search&A=details&Q=&sku=68085&is=REG&addedTroughType=search) for $133.

<snip>So how do you engage the power meter?

Never mind.  I figured it out.  The test button is recessed deeper than I thought it should be.
