Here's our recommended ways to power the Crickit:

Plug In DC Power Supplies

These get wall power and give you a nice clean 5V DC power option. 5V 2A works for most project with a motor or

two...

And a 5V 4A supply will give you

lots

of power so you can drive 4 or more servos, motors, etc. Use this if you notice

you're running out of power with a 5V 2A adapter

AA Battery Packs

On the go? Portable power is possible! Use AA battery packs.

The number of batteries you need depends on whether you are using Alkaline or NiMH rechargeables.

We recommend NiMH rechargeables. For one, they have less waste, but they also perform better than alkalines in

high-current draw robotics. So if you can, please use NiMH!

4 x AA Battery Packs for NiMH ONLY

NiMH batteries have a 1.3V max voltage, so 4 of them is 4 x 1.3 = 5.2 Volts. Perfect!
