Topic: Will this power my ua-5 and jb3

I'm thinking about buying two of these...are they legit and will they last?

The UA5 runs on 9-12v.  The JB3 runs on 5v.  So if it outputs the proper voltage, they should power those devices.  Unfortunately, I didn't see any info on its voltage specs in my quick scan of the eBay listing.  Don't forget to set the polarity properly on the UA5 power source:  - pin, + ring.

As for whether it's legit - it's used, and the seller admits he hasn't tested whether it holds a charge, and if it does for how long.  I wouldn't risk it, personally.  There are deals to be had on batteries, but I don't think this is one of them.

I'll take your word for it Bri...thanks man

it wouldn't power them at the same time either, check in the yard sale, there are a few bumblebee vr boxes for sale now--they power the ua5 and jb3 at the same time off 1 dvd battery

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. I have a 9v "dvd" battery for my ua5 and a 5v Lion for the JB3, only cost me about $30 with shipping, and I get 6+ hours out of each, and both of them together are about the size and weight of a JB3.
