just remember that you have to plug in the plug on the UA-5 end backwards.

i just went out to wally world and bought this battery. i also headed to rat shack and bought a B, M, and a female-female adaptaplug. i'm pretty sure i have everything hooked up correctly.  the "-" on my M is lined up with the "TIP" and the "+" on my B is lined up with the "TIP" on the adaptaplug.

but before i use this with my UA-5 i have to get something straight. should i charge my lithiumion battrery fully FIRST (for about 6 to 8 hours), or drain the battery down THEN charge it fully (for about 6 to 8 hours). i have heard both suggested, but i'm not sure which method is the correct way to condition a lithium ion battery. please help... ???

charge it first. i think it ships with half a charge. when the light turns green you are ready for the field.

you want to connect it like this: http://www.sidewalkcrusaders.com/photos/adaptaplugs.jpg
the negative side of the M tip should line up with the "tip" on the adaptaplug, and vice versa for the B tip

Since this forum is over-saturated with walmart battery topics, I figured I'd throw this question in here....

I've been using this 9v a couple times and it works great.  The other day I recharged it until the red/green light was blinking and I then plugged the ua5 in to see if it turned on.  Everything worked fine but now the battery status lights wont turn on when I hit the black button.  But when I plug it in, the light flashes to show it's fully charged.  I have other batteries but was just curious, should I ignore the lights and use the battery as usual?  assuming ~5 hrs?

my button get's a little sensitive sometimes too.... just push it in hard/far with your fingernail and it may help.

I am trying to buy these tips in Australia but they don't identify them with letters at the shop I went to.

Does anyone know the "size" of the M tip so I can get the correct fitting one.

A few different tips may fit snuggly but I want to ensure I get the correct one.

Thanks
