Why are you asking for assistance on this @Mel? If you google it you'll find your answer even faster... I don't think you should be using "requiring assistance" for things that you can just as easily google. Since you don't have an ezb4 and unless you are powering your servos via an external power source, plugging them directly into your EZB3 they will only get 5V anyway

Here ya' go... link

Operating voltage 4.8-7.2V

Ive got 19 of them in my humanoid, they can handle a 2s lipo which is 8.4v when theyre hot off the charger. Ive taken them to 9v without killing them, but i dont recommend it. 2s lipo or 6s nimh is best:) they seem pretty weak at 5v.

Thank you guys for the information. Just plugging them into the V3 doesn't seem to work so well. So, I figured I would see what other members are experiencing. and see if I have to add a dedicated battery. I am just trying to participate in the forum.

Oh, BTW, your link is broken.

@Mel....... No it's not... click on it and wait for a few seconds... then you'll get my point...

MG995s draw a lot of current, more than 1 connected directly to an EZ-B V3 will cause brownouts.

Consider upgrading to the EZ-B V4 or powering them through an external regulator. 7.2v (as previously stated) is the written ceiling but they can be pushed higher if needed. I use 6v with great results.

@Moviemaker

Since it seems you are back in the robot building game, if you want to buy back one or both the the v4 EZ-B's you sold me, I'll sell them back for exactly what I paid you.

• or I will trade them for Sunshine's base (ie, wheels and motors specifically, although I wouldn't throw away the chassis). I would pay the shipping.

Let me know either here, or my email is in my profile.
