Not Recommended Power supplies

LiPoly Batteries - 1 battery is 3.7V, too low. 2 batteries is 7.2V, too high! You could possibly use a 7.2V pack and

then a UBEC to step down to 5V (https://adafru.it/efD) but its not recommended

Lead Acid Batteries - These are heavy and you'll need a custom charging solution. You can probably get away

with a 2 x 2V cell pack, or a 3 x 2V cell pack and then add some 1N4001 diodes to drop the voltage, but it's for

advanced hacking!

USB Power Packs - In theory you can use a USB to 2.1mm DC power adapter (https://adafru.it/Bfm), but power

packs sometimes dislike the kinds of current draw that motors have (high current peaks for short amounts of

time) So experimentation is key!
