I forgot to mention that I am dealing with a small scale robot of 30*30 cm. I now calculated that with the motors it uses approximately 5 W (Simple P = U*I). This would mean I only have to use 4 batteries, which feels to little for me. Maybe I did something horribly wrong when calculating the...

Thanks for the reply! I should have mentioned it will be a small scale robot (30 x 30 cm) and we use small motors. We use a total of 4 motors, two of them have a rated voltage of 1.5 V and a max current of 0.500 A, and the other two have a rated voltage of 12.0 V and max current of 0.143 A...

Hi All! I am a Dutch university student and I have an assignment to make a Search & Rescue Robot. Because we have to work with a budget, we have decided to make our own batteries (using AA penlights). Now while calculating the required capacity of the battery pack, I encountered some...

You sound like my physics tutors haha! I calculated the amount of Watts and think it is silly to assume that both the capacity and the voltage gets doubled. So from this I will assume that the battery pack would have a 8.1 W output with the 3.0 V and 2700 mAh! Thanks

Hi, I am a university student in the Netherlands and I just got the assignment of building a robot on a budget. Because of this budget I would like to make the battery pack that powers the 2 servo motors and 2 electric motors myself. I did some research and found out it would be best to...
