Recommendations For 12 Volt Rechargeable Battery
Would anyone care to recommend a 12 volt rechargeable battery system? I plan on using at least two: one to power a 12 volt Dewert and actuator and another to power two 12 volt actuators and a 12 volt servo. The load will be quite low (no locomotion). The systems will be controlled by two separate EZ boards. Thanks, Daniel

Servo Wire Gage Over Distance?
