Re: what battery 12 -18 volts to feed audio recorder
Instead of the V-mount, look at the NP-L7S. You can get a battery cap for it with any kind of connector. Most audio bags will have a pocket big enough to hold them. The Petrol bag that I use has a side pouch with the battery cap in the bottom. Installing a battery is just a matter of pushing the battery down into the pocket.

I would sugest Anton Baur mount batteries. They have a really long life, good output, and they last for years.

Re: what battery 12 -18 volts to feed audio recorder
I built batteries out of nano-phosphate cells from A123 Systems. They're lightweight and provide 13.2 VDC at 2.3 Ah.
It's a good option if you're handy with a soldering iron. I set up a balanced charger for it, which comes from the radio-control industry. It's a Cellpro charger from FMA direct. Revolectrix This can run an Edirol R-44 recorder for about 8 hours.

Re: what battery 12 -18 volts to feed audio recorder
I mounted an AB plate on the outside of my petrol bag. it was pretty simple to mark 4 holes, then mount with screws + really large washers so it doesn't pull out. soldered up leads out of it to power the bag. I have 2 hytron 50's I use for when the bag is totally running on 12V power.
I also have an internal 24V power system for the FP33 that uses 2 10cell AA paks made by the local batteries plus. they were pretty cheap and run the mixer for a couple of days. that said, some one dropped something ( probably a battery ) on my setup a few days ago and damaged the power switch. now it doesn't work. :( on more thing to fix. not looking fowards to changing the power switch since its a 4 pole switch that puts the batteries into series for 24V power on, 12V parallel for charging ... never mind, its custom, its complicated, it worked great for 4+ years. |
