    How 2 Store Unused Jtv Batteries 4 An Extended Period Of Time

    in James Tyler Variax Guitars / Workbench HD

    Posted

    done bit of searchin'

    found this:

     

     

    Moli Energy Lithium Ion Battery Storage: Storage temperature range is -20 to 60° C. Recommended storage voltage range is 4.1 to 2.0 volts per cell. For prolonged storage periods, store discharged [i.e. 2.0 to 3.0 volts per cell] and at -20° to 25° C.    Panasonic Lithium Ion Battery Storage: The batteries should be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30 to 50% of capacity. We recommend that the batteries be charged about once per year to prevent overdischarge

     

    and this:

     

    Simple Guidelines for Storing Batteries

    • Primary batteries store well. Alkaline and primary lithium batteries can be stored for 10 years with moderate loss capacity.
    • Remove battery from the equipment and store in a dry and cool place.
    • Avoid freezing. Batteries freeze more easily if in discharged state.
    • Lithium-ion must be stored in a charged state, ideally 40 percent. This assures that the battery will not drop below 2.50V/cell with self-discharge and fall asleep.
    • Discard Li-ion if the voltage has stayed below 2.00/V/cell for more than a week

     

    and finally this:

    The Care and Feeding of Lithium-Ion (Li-On) Batteries

    Avoid full discharges. It’s better to discharge Li-Ion batteries partway, then charge them up again. After they’re charged, unplug the AC adapter—chargers can’t really overcharge the battery, but it does waste electricity. Besides, a little bit of discharging/charging helps improve battery performance.

     

    If you won’t be using an Li-Ion-powered device for extended periods of time,don't store the battery either fully charged or fully discharged—discharge the battery about halfway before storing it in a cool environment (heat shortens Li-Ion battery life—not that any gear likes heat much anyway). After removing the battery from storage, charge it to full capacity before using it again.

    Finally, remember that no battery lasts forever. After a while the battery’s internal resistance builds up to the point where it can’t hold a charge anymore; at that point, dispose of the battery in accordance with local environmental regulations.

    ....The whole system that you tout so proudly only tries to copy the sound of the guitars, amps or effects that were produced by the orignals of each of those items. The Variax doesn't do anything orignal by its self , alt tuning on the fly exception here, other than combine all of those into one unit that is computer controlled....

     

    yes, the system simulates the sound of the guitars, amps or effects that were produced by the orignals of each of those items and the jtv combines all of those in2 one unit that is computer controlled.

     

    so what? who cares?

     

    what really matters is the sound delivered 2 the audience; 'n this sound is really great!

     

    btw,

    i forgot in my previous post 2 mention the typical conversation after each live:

    they ask me: "is this a real deal guitar?".

    i say "no it is not".

    they ask: "is it a magic guitar then?".

    i say: "no it is not".

    then they ask: "what the f-cking lollipop is it then?"

    'n i say: "this is a jtv".

    I enjoy the different feel that I get when I select up the T-model or Spank or Lester or Casino, or acoustic model on my 69s, or banjo and sitar and tricone...and...and...i forget all the other models, they r 60 'n i cannot memorize them by heart, due to ram limitations

    i also like the astonishment look on the sound guys when i change tunings on the fly or use dual guitar stereo sounds; "what the lollipop is going on here?" , they r wandering; "how the heck is this happening with only one instrument? Is this guitar magic?"

    and if my 69s blows up a bunch of computer parts or has so many glitches, i do not worry, i still got the blues eee i mean mags....

    happy jamming everyone! :)

    4 many-many decades (since 1970) i've used my 1972 strat -jimmy hendrix white, 3 position selector switch- with tube amps.

    had many fuse 'n tubes 'blow-outs' during lives (classic rock is the genre), that's why i always carried 2 of them, 1 as emergency backup unit. 'n believe me, these amps r REALLY HEAVY!

     

    my last amp was a fender custom shop prosonic combo.

     

    since i got the hd500+jtv, all this analogue vintage staff is gloriously decommissioned.

    hd500+jtv is THE RIG, nothing else needed. i connect direct 2 pa 'n the sound delivered 2 the audience is really good, dare i say even better than analogue, cause i now can easily simulate studio processing techiques @ stage (dual amps, dual guitar sounds, acoustic sounds, etc).

    demo vids here.

     

    wishing u many-many trouble-free gigs with actual guitars and analogue effects...

    ok, it seems that u have an operating system bug.

    try reinstalling the os and make sure u r virus-free...

     

    ps

    as far as i know this feature is not disabled by the registry.

    check this article on how to do this.

    Miguel,

    i suggest u reconsider post #11 abv, abt reinstalling windows on ur pc 'n start from the beginning with a "clean/virus-free" machine.  this is the simplest, yet powerful rule of thumb...

    great job Tboneous.  post #2 abv verified.

     

    output mode affects cab/mic simulation.

    setting 2 "studio/direct" u get excellent acoustics/full models WITH cab/mic from Lspeaker 'n u shld only feed the hd500  pre/no cab/mic 2 the dt amp+cab.

    just guessing, since i do not own a dt...
