JOSH another idea the robot makers use,and i use sometimes is a split battery power supply best thing about split power supply you dont waste any wattage. split battery power supply is simple 2 6 volt batteries in series same wattage as the 12 volt battery ,but tap off the center for 6 volt electronics,by using DC-DC converters or regulators you always lose some wattage and tie all 12 lines in parallel if using the same amps per hour rating so only one charger is needed

i made a very current battery charger for gel cells,can charge up to 100 amps and up to 24 volts ,and is automatic,can set the output charge rate,output current and voltage also had a pcb made for it

Thanks Fred , when I am to the point of making the charging circuit I'll ask you about how to set that up.

what are you using a ROBIE SR for, i have 2 its very small ,the EZB fits good in it ,motors not that great

Well I thought about using his head on my omnibot , I basically will only have ezb and a 6v battery in the robbie Sr. I bought him to give the kids their own project robot they get to do wherever they want to it and we build it together. I think it's a great learning took to get kids engaged , I've let them work on Jarvis some but I realize Jarvis is my baby right now as it has literally taken 8 months of building and planning. So this way they can mod however they want and IM not paranoid something would be messed up.

yep thats the little guy i have,one in fair condition ,just needs cleaning,for a full restore ,no EZB other looking at adding EZB as i have time,but so many robots need EZB is will be a super long hobby great to be semi-retired and in a year or two will have more money i need so FULL TIME ON MY ROBOTS ,as you can very excited of it,my step daughter not in to robot building yet ,only 8 years old but does like them :D :D :D
