How much current do i need to control them or which battery can i use.
Thank you

Look at the specs for the servos. Let's say each setvo requires 500 mA, that would result in 3 A. Add a little for the additional electronics if they are power from the same source.
The battery depends on how long you need it to run. If you have a 3000 mAh battery, it can deliver 3 A for one hour.
I don't now anything about servos; if they only draw significant current while moving, your battery can last longer, if they continuously draw it will be the hour.
