Hello so i have everything set up but im not even going to touch on that. i just ordered this: SparkFun Breadboard Power Supply 5V/3.3V - PRT-00114 - SparkFun Electronics
So i need to power 5 servos. i can power all of them when plug it in through USB but when i switch to battery power its not enough. im getting new batteries tonight to see if this helps.But is there any other portable way i can power all 5?
4 AA batteries?
Make sure that you connect the grounds together (battery, servos and Arduino)
Well if you have used arduino before you would know the most common and most practical Way to power it through a DC source would be a 9v battery. So you could have said the possible ways to power it even without knowing what im using.

Are you talking about powering an arduino or servos?
Both
If the servos are under load, you may need a several amp wall power supply or lipo batterys for decent performance.
