UA 5 power
« on: June 16, 2003, 04:29:34 PM »
Just bought a new digi mod ua 5 from the oade site.

Check a little further down this board & theres a thread on field-powering the UA-5.

I kind phellow made & mailed me the y power connector for R/C packs & it works great, took it and my new UA-5 out for its maiden flight last Wednesday.

I picked up a 3000mAh 9.6v pack from batteryspace.com and it lasted the whole nite (about 6 hours). I've heard people say they've got 7+ from it while supplying phantom.
The pack was $30+shipping and came with a charger.

PayPal is just fine, blu666z@hotmail.com is my account there.  I have my parents in this week so it might take me a couple extra days to get by Radio Shack but I should still be able to have it done by the weekend.  Please sure to include your address.

no doubt! I think I saw someone post over @ Oade a couple weeks ago saying he had it archived on his PC at home.

I'll try to find him/it & put it in our archive.

Google does not cache the images, unfortunately.

Also, archive.org's Wayback machine appears to have never crawled those pages... drag.

I found the thread & emailed the dOOd who said he had the page zipped up at home.

I have an extra rat shack 9.6v connector if anybody wants it.  They give you 2 in a pack and I only used 1 with my 3000mAh battery.

This ones a bit heavier than the 9.6 rc battery but is for festivals and such...

Take 2 4-D cell battery packs from rat shack and wire them in series...8 rechargable D batteries(or regular batteries)....and a connector to the UA-5....I have been running the same batteries for over 50 hours with no voltage drop in the battery pack....

I wonder if some kind soul can help me out here. . .  I went to radio shack to buy all the parts needed to build the Shapiro style battery pack for powering a UA-5 in the field, but aparantly Canadian radio shack stores do not carry the RC 9.6V Battery Pack Connector Repair Kit.  I then tried to order it from radioshack.com only to find out that they will not process international orders.  I now have quite a few dollars worth of parts sitting here useless to me unless I can somehow find two female adaptors to build this battery pack.  The "helpful" guy behind the counter suggested I cut the male adaptors off the batteries and hardwire them to the adaptaplug.  I almost laughed at him.  Anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Thanks a ton in advance.

I'd cut the RS adapters off the batteries, charger, etc, and use XLR style or similar connectors throughout the system.  You shouldn't have too hard a time finding the XLR's; I imagine Daryan has a few left...

You're lucky you don't live here then. . . the parts I've bought so far already cost me a hundred bucks.  That doesn't count a fancy plastic case either!  ;)

So about these XLR adaptors. . . where might I find these?  I'm eager to get this thing working so that I can give it to the guy who owns the UA-5 and get my money from him. . .

The 6 hour from Core is equal to the 3000mAh battery from batteryspace, but about $25 more.

Brandon - it's been some time but I noticed Canada mentioned.  Let me know if you're in Toronto and I can guide you to parts.  Return that Radio Shack crap!  You can do this for under $50.
