I've been using 9v batteries and AAs to power my projects so far.
I would like to know if there are any alternatives that I can use for a project that will involve 4-6 standard servos.
I'm new to all this and finding out how much power all these parts need is something I still need to learn.
Thanks!
various industrial power supply are available. but u must careful with current ratings while selecting proper power supply. check the link below:
I'm looking for a more mobile option to replace my current use AA batteries, unless they are the best choice?
I just see a lot of people using lithium ion batteries and such things and I wasn't sure if they are better for arduino then standard AA batteries.
There is no "better", you need to meet a set of requirements, the set of requirements depends on
many things. Once you have the requirements you can figure out the possible power sources.
For batteries it is voltage, max current, capacity, temperature range, robustness, size, weight,
loss of capacity with charge-discharge cycles, internal self-discharge rate and similar things
that you may have to think about - some requirements are usually more required than others
too (hard requirements v. would be good to have)

Alright, guess it depends more on which project I am doing and what my needs are for said project. Thanks, I'll be sure to look around more about this.
