Title: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: poseidon on April 08, 2013, 09:10:04 PM Hello Guys i have two hitec hs 805bb heavy duty servos can you guys guide on what kind of power supplies can be used. I need the servo to give highest power output, my project is stationary so the power supply can be of any type, can i use a ac to dc power supply or do i need to stick with the batteries,please tell me all the options available (Jugaads included).
Thanks for you replies NOte: mods if posted in wrong section please move Title: Re: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: sajid6300shaikh on April 09, 2013, 08:48:18 AM you can use receiver power supplies or search for any SMPS 6 V DC adapter with like more than 1A current rating.

Post by: poseidon on April 09, 2013, 11:17:56 PM Thanks for replying but i want it to work on 6v and can i use bike batteries etc.
Title: Re: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: sajid6300shaikh on April 09, 2013, 11:24:50 PM yep 4 NiMh cell pack gives 6 V.
you can use bike battery if its 6V. Title: Re: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: poseidon on April 11, 2013, 10:19:29 PM Again thanks for your reply gave me the idea to diy a battery pack using 4 aa batteries can u tell me how long my servos will run as such on this pack and by aa batteries i mean the one sold for 5 ruppes,also since my project is not a rc device can i use a rectifier i.e ac to dc converter to power my servos and are there any precautions to be taken.
also i am attaching to files one of the servo and other of the manufacturer please reply as best. Title: Re: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: sajid6300shaikh on April 11, 2013, 10:58:48 PM The specs shows its no load current draw of 700 mA.
First find out its stall current using ammeter and don't keep it stalled for too long. for your servo I think it would need 2A at 5-6 V. yes you can use a rectifier provided it can deliver required power. see this one: http://www.instructables.com/id/Increasing-current-on-78xx-series-regulators/ Title: Re: Servo Power Supply!!!.. Post by: poseidon on April 15, 2013, 07:40:52 PM Thanks for your reply and your help, really encouraging, will be using a diy pack temporarily and will make a rectifier circuit to power it longer.
