A Worthwhile Upgrade

I purchased this for my Sound Devices 702 recorder. The battery the recorder comes with is 2,000 mAh, so this, at 6,600 mAh, is quite a bit higher capacity. While I have not yet used it extensively, I can definitively say right now that this battery is fantastic. It seems to last way longer than it should. Even after hours of recording it's still not dead. Of course, it's worth noting that this higher capacity will greatly increase charging time as well as running time. Also, the battery is physically much larger than the one that comes with the 702, so make sure that whatever case you are carrying the 702 in has room for it to protrude from the back of the recorder, as it is not flush with the unit like the stock battery. In short, it's a high capacity battery that does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Will this run a Sony camera? Some non-Sony batteries do not.
Asked by: Thomas
If the Sony camera takes NP-F batteries, the Sound Devices XL-B3 Lithium Ion Battery should be compatible, as it is an NP-F-type battery.

question

What have people found is an average charge time using the Sound Devices L-series Battery Charger?
Asked by: Emile
In general, charging times vary greatly for it depends on the amount of discharge, the charger and things like ambient temperature. With a fully discharged battery you should minimally consider 1-2 hours, maybe 3-4. In time you will get a feel of how long. Keep in mind generally when a battery takes longer to charge it will work longer. Generally batteries that charge from a fully depleted state in a few minutes last only a few minutes. That is because they are at end of life since the chemicals inside are exhausted and thus the battery will accept only a small charge.

question

How many minutes work after charging?
Asked by: Arsen A.
I use it for my Sound Devices 633 along with another off brand battery as back ups when my np1 that powers everything goes down and I don't have time to change to a fresh. Both xl series batts last about 4-5 hours just powering the 633 and a boom for phantom power, I don't have them set up to power the receivers or hops. Again that's what I use them for, your mileage may vary if you are using for another purpose.

question

The Sound Devices fact sheet says this is 7800 mAH capacity, but this B&H spec shows 6600 mAH - are there different versions of the XL-B3, or is one of these specs incorrect?
Asked by: Anonymous
Hi,The spec for the XL-B3 is 7800 mAH as stated on the Sound Devices website. This could be a typo on the website. Thanks!
