Topic: using 10000mah size D battery's for sled to power UA-5 or Ipaq5555.

[IowaClint]

Anybody know how long this would power the ua-5 or a ipaq 5555.  I looked at the power consumtion for the Ipaq but couldn't find one.  Idea would be to use either four of these for the ipaq or six to run the ua-5. I am open to ideas.

No idea on the Ipaq, but for the UA5:

[1]  check Archive | Pres, A/Ds & Processors | UA5 FAQ for the unit's current draw
[2]  check the Archive | Remote Power forum for a thread on calculating run-time

IME, though, NiMH D-cells and chargers are expensive.  I've found RC NiMH or SLAs more cost effective.

the UA-5 draw About 450mAh an hour so 10000/450=22.2 so you figure your safe for at least 20 hours

i'd go with the Walmart 9v for the ua5.

I think the wallmart battsd are a better solution compared to these but these NiMHs can be charged at .5C or 5amps.  Most powerful/cost effective charger you could find is probably 2.5amps.   which i believe is a faster charger rate than the wallmart batts (w/ included charger).  Although the li-ion wallmarts can in theory be charged @ 1C or 5.4amps.
