Topic: Stupid JB3 Question?

[Sloan Simpson]

I'm assuming JB3 batteries don't arrive already charged?  I got the notice on my door from FedEx today that my JB3 is in town (WHOOO-HOOOO!!!), although it's at the FedEx compound and I have to go get it.

I've got a show tonight (Now It's Overhead) and just wondering if I'll actually be able to get everything together in time to run the JB3.  I'm obviously gonna be running my DA-P1 as well, but it'd be nice to break the JB3 in within hours of its arrival. . .

i actually believe mine came pretty charged!!

i remember plugging it in and was like wtf, it showed no signs of anything, which means its full, you'll see battery meters in the lower left side if it needs charged,a nd FWIW, it charges quickly anyway

Most lion batteries will ship with a 2/3 charge, and I think the same goes for the JB3 battery.

It had enough that I charged it for about an hour, and got the show recorded no problem!

Now I just gotta get this driver crap straightened out. . .

Thanks!
