talwilkins 93 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevekc 185 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
anthonylee 6 Posted May 28, 2016 Found one immediately: http://www.thomann.de/gb/line6_james_tyler_jtv_ba12_battery.htm?ref=search_rslt_james+taylor+battery_273176_0 Found one immediately: http://www.thomann.de/gb/line6_james_tyler_jtv_ba12_battery.htm?ref=search_rslt_james+taylor+battery_273176_0 Yeh the only problem is they want just on delivery 50 euro + 41 euro battery. thats a 100 dollars!!!! a bit to much...

silverhead 8,513 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 432 Posted May 29, 2016 Don't blame Line6 for your countries ridiculous tariffs. The battery is about $50 in the US. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

noble2g 0 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie_Watt 432 Posted November 4, 2016 Does not work. It's been tried. Wrong Battery ID code.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snhirsch 89 Posted November 4, 2016 Yes, "cash-flow protection mechanism" prevents use of non-Line6 batteries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psarkissian 315 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psarkissian 315 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
