I've been using standard 7.2V NiMH packs for radio controlled vehicles with one of these: http://www.acmesystems.it/EPS . A pack like http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/206028/Conrad-energy-NiMH-Sub-C-Racingpack-72-V-3000-mAh-Stecksystem-Tamiya-Stecker kept the old white bone running (and gps / can bus logging) for well over 12 hours, but depending on the application smaller batteries should also work well. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
