Powering the ServoShock with Batteries
When powering RC servos on the ServoShock, the voltage should be kept between 5.1V and the maximum servo voltage, generally 6V.
In order to supply a good, steady voltage, a BEC (battery elimination circuit) designed for RC radio receivers can be used to regulate the battery voltage down to something the servos are rated for. A 6V BEC will generally give your the best performance, but anything from 5.1V-6V should work.
Lithium polymer batteries are preferable when a many servos are used, because LiPo batteries can generally supply more current than other types of batteries. When using lithium batteries, Be sure to use a BEC that has a low-voltage cutoff, or else the battery may become over-discharged and damaged.
