Newb question - power for vrx

[jgrissom91]

I just set up my fpv - immersionrc 600 mW tx, black pearl diversity with bluebeam ultra antennas on tx and rx. I just ordered the Immersionrc uno receiver for better range. I am wondering if I can use the black pearl's battery to power my receiver. Will it work? Is it a terrible idea?

I'm sure you could if you wanted to. The input voltages etc. match. You'll find the battery life will diminish considerably though.... you may have to get a few batteries if you are planning more than a couple of flights in one go.

You'd be better off using something like this to power it though:
