thats a good question, i might have to run down my batteries, and test their voltage when it finally turns off..  all i know when fully charged my batts push around 12 v's..

It runs on 12 volts. I use 2 6 volts to make 12. I set them up like that new

It's not 12V, it's 9. That's what it says on the back of the unit. A 9.6v battery is perfect.

The wallwart puts out 12v.  So, at the very least it runs on 9-12v.  Dunno the actual full voltage spec range, though.

I just went and looked at my UA-5 wall wart, and it's clearly marked 9V.
