i'm lookin at investing in a UA-5, and i know coresound sells ready to go portable sets with 6 or 8hr batts... but i was lookin around to see if i could get a better deal, by building my own battery. the UA-5 runs on 9vdc, and i found some NI-MH batteries that are 9.6vdc. i didn't think that .6 of a volt would be a problem, and i asked some friends here, and they didn't think so either, but you know, neither them nor i are the cream of the crop, and i thought what better of a place to ask than here... so if anyone thinks this would work, or not, please let me know.. thanks.

I use 9.6 with no problems. I think there is a link to directions for building a cable in the archive section. If not, let me know and I can build you one.

cool thanks man.

As Kevin says, check the Archival Section for how to build a 9.6v RC battery. And don't sweat the extra voltage - if you check the wallwart that comes with the UA5, it actually puts out 12+ volts!!

You can get roughly 6.5 hours of continual usage with phantom power turned on by using a 3000mAh battery found at batteryspace.com
Make the 2 battery cable and you can get 13 or so hours.
The battery runs about $30 and includes a 15-hour charger.

The only way to fly IMO

That's the twicket!

Don't forget that you can do the digi-mod yourself too. That info is in the archive.

yea i've been lookin at the digi mod, but i'm gonna be using it primarily for laptop, so it wouldn't do me any good...

found a dead link to the UA-5 powering.. so yea..

Fixed. Try again?

yeh go with the 3000mAH from battery space. I had a second 1700mAH on made for me at Batteries Plus about 3 days before I found this place. Oh well. I got about 4 1/2 hours w/o phantom power on the UA-5 w/ that battery... havent pushed it to capacity now that I am using the phantom power.
