Yes, it'll work. Maximum voltage is 14 volts. Ideal voltage is 7.5 volts which is 5 alkaline batteries or 6 rechargeable ones. You can just solder wires across a few of the battery cases if you want to bring down the total voltage.

got it thaks!

so is my plan of a 7.2v battery pack not enough juice? should i get 7.5v battery?

also are 8 aa batteries putting out 12v? i want to confirm im not going over the max 14v for the ezb

Your 7.2V battery will do fine.

Are you using rechargeable batteries (which are 1.2V each) or disposable ones (which are 1.5V each)? 8 rechargeable AAs combine for 9.6V while 8 disposable ones make 12V. Either way, you're within the range the EZ-B can handle.

You'll need a 2.1x5.5mm male plug. Tell the guy at Radio Shack it's for a CCTV camera.
