Well, I just picked up the first parts to put together a little SLA pack to power my AD-20 and PB224. I stopped by a little broadcast supply shop here in Dallas to pick up some T-160 SVHS tapes for my ADAT, and low and behold... they were a PowerSonic dealer.
I ended up with a neat little 1.2AH SLA ($16) and a PowerSonic charger ($34). I'm just laying it all out and getting ready to order my connectors. It seems like the standard is 4-pin XLR, and that would certainly work. It fits all the apparent needs:
- Can't short during connect/disconnect
- Can't be plugged in to anything else
- Is easy to connect/disconnect
But it seems like an awfully large connector. Does anyone have any comments about the 4-pin XLR versus the Mini-XLR as a power cord?
I guess the Mini-XLR could be misconnected, but I don't currently have one in my rig. And I suppose if I upgraded, I'd need a different battery/harness anyway.
