Jamin Extended Battery

Do any websites make an extended battery for the prophet platform? And are there any places where you can buy mobile USB chargers for our phones so we can charge them with AA batteries if we don't have access to a power plug and/or PC? Thanks!!

You can buy an extended battery (1500ma) from online retailers for the Jam/Magician, I got mine from MMB (not listed anymore) it is exactly the same as for Prophet...I've done it. AA>USB>Prophet...don't know, I don't know why you would want this unless you were in the wilderness with no wall outlet or car

Jam and JAMin batteries are not EXACTLY the same

Like lots of others, I bought a spare JAM battery with my JAMin. However, whilst it fits and works, they are not exactly the same. On the side opposite the power connections, there are two shallow recesses. These are designed to allow two small ridges on the case to snap into them, thus holding the left side (facing you) of the battery in place. For whatever reason, these recesses are in slightly different locations on the JAM and JAMin, meaning that the JAM battery does not lock in as the OEM battery does. It thus relies on the back cover to retain the battery in place. As I say, it works but....

My original Jam battery didn't fit properly in my Jam either. If I dropped it, the battery would come loose just enough to cause a reset. I solved this problem by inserting a small sliver of cardboard on the opposite side of the battery from the contacts, which I cut from the flap of the original Jam box I used the same method with my Jamin just for safety. I've had no problems after using this fix.
