talwilkins Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Try searching for: Accu NP-F550 Or one ofe these: NP-F330, NP-F570, NP-F750, NP-F930, NP-F530 They seemto be the same battery. They're for some camera's. Maybe you can get those in Israel. Worst case scenario is you blow 15 to 20 Euro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevekc Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 The Line-6 Tyler Variax batteries have an Echip to verify conformity and being s genuine Li-Ion type for the Line-6 product. It's not Line 6's fault, has more to do with the global CE IEC safety standards that became effective 2012 and are now enforced and i was thinking of buying a Helix...Use a Variax VDI Ethercon cable and you don't need a battery when used with any Line-6 VDI port equipped gear ( Helix, HD500, XT Live, Vetta) Or order the Line -6 Variax TRS 1/4" Power adapter /DI box Never worry about battery life again with the Line 6 Variax Cabled Power Kit. Line 6 Variax Cabled Power Kit Features: Power your Variax at gigs or in the studio without worries XPS A/B box works as a direct box sending your signal to your amp or mixer Includes 9V power adapter to power XPS and your Variax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Oh - so it's not availability that's the problem. It's cost. Are electronics in general more expensive, including shipping, in Israel? In any case, I don't think it has anything to do with Line 6 service as stated in your original post. They're not responsible for pricing and shipping in other countries. Costs more in Canada, too.

Charlie_Watt Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Don't blame Line6 for your countries ridiculous tariffs. The battery is about $50 in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Don't blame Line6 for your countries ridiculous tariffs. The battery is about $50 in the US. Who do we blame for the cost here, then? Even $50 is silly. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Almost all of the Variax peripherals are out of stock at Line 6 http://store.line6.com/accessories/guitars.html That's a bit scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noble2g Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I heard you can use Sony camera battery as replacement for tyler variax. Does anyone of you had an experience trying this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Watt Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Does not work. It's been tried. Wrong Battery ID code.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snhirsch Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yes, "cash-flow protection mechanism" prevents use of non-Line6 batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Correct, camera batteries won't work,... - The pin-outs are different - The drain rate is different We have enough overheating or exploding Li-Ion batteries out there, so don't use any substitutes. Used to see similar problems with Sony Discmans and Toshiba laptops, back in the 1990's. Substitute batteries,... ... don't go there.

psarkissian Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 It's like that with everybody's products, not just Line 6. Less about cash flow, more about keeping the Samsung scenario from occurring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMOLLO Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I own a JYV 69 variax guitar. Worked fine for years . Now, I cannot get any of the special effects. With battery ( not showing any green lights) or using the power adapter. Any idea what is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have something you can plug the VDI connector to to see if that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
