Sendserial Command Not Working

Hi, I am trying to have the EZ-B send commands to my Roomba. I have tried the Roomba Control in ARC. I have also tried using the SendSerial Command via the script console.

Ez-B Input Voltage Range?

I can't find this information on the site. DJ Sures, what is the acceptable input voltage range for the EZ-B? I'd love to run it off a gel cell.
