Before i got 5 AA flat battery holder with my EZB and now with the 10 EZB i got from robotshop is has 6 AA flat battery holder
Before i got 5 AA flat battery holder with my EZB and now with the 10 EZB i got from robotshop is has 6 AA flat battery holder
5 times 1.5 volts = 7.5 volts
i know 6 cell is better since it can take rechargable ni-cads ,where in 5 cell it cant
1.2 volts times 5 = 6 volts on 6 cell its 7.2 volts
here is the photo of the 5 cell holder i got
I bought a lot of 3000 ma NI-CADS about 50 and going to use them in the holder instead of the 5 cell plus 1 cell holder design i made awhile back it will give me 7.2 volts at 3 amps (3000ma)
hope it fits in wall-e,i know the 5 cell fits and easy to put a 1 cell holder on top or bottom of it to make it 6 cell
ask DJ if you think i am wrong like always
The higher amperage will make the ez-b last longer. Higher voltage will help prevent brown out.
and from another post you said the ideal voltage is 7.4 volts using AA batteries
So you are correct it wont last very long at all,i think also i havent check the specs on LDO YOU ARE USING ,BUT I WOULD SAY IT NEAR .3 VOLTS
so it 6 volt battery will have problems regulating below 5.3 volts,
most robots use a least 4 servo's if not more ,like wall-e,and not including sensors that draws current and led that draws near 10 ma it all adds up
one reason i change your LED to a 1 ma LED,and its on all the time not like servo's or sensors *blush*
IS a HP LIKE HLP### you can go to digi-key and put in led in search and set the color and ma out .its a small T-1 BASE i think
but also other companies do make them too,very low cost
