V3 ?
« on: October 08, 2006, 05:16:07 PM »
I am looking to pick up a V3 and I see they output both 6v and 12v. What is the best one to pick up. I want to run it off of the same batt that I used for my UA5.

The 6v and 12v V3s are identical physically, they're simply calibrated differently.  What battery did you use for your UA5?

A 6v V3 will run on a >= 6v battery.  Only catch:  the low battery indicator and auto-shutoff features may not work properly because they're calibrated for a 6v SLA battery - specifically, low battery indicator set to trigger at 5.75v and auto-shutoff at 5v.  If you're using a battery with a low battery indicator, like the popular li-ion batteries, it's no big deal and not really necessary to recalibrate.

A 12v V3 battery will run on a >= 12v battery.  It will not run on a battery < 12v (e.g. 9v li-ion) because the low battery indicator is set to trigger at 11.5v and auto-shutoff at 10v.  In this case, you'll need to recalibrate.

To recalibrate, see the V3 voltage calibration PDF from Grace Design.

Bottom line:  6v should work straight away;  12v should also work, but may require calibration.

Li-ion batteries come in many different voltages.  If it's > 6v, a 6v V3 will work fine straight away, but without low battery indicator or auto-shutoff features.  If it's < 12v, a 12v V3 will require calibration as noted previously.

6V if that Oade battery is a 9V Lithium.
