However, note that an NiMh pack tends not to be able to provide high discharge current and as such you may be limited to the total number of servos. A charged 12V battery pack would provide ~~12.5 which the servos can accept.
61 61  |12V|(% style="width:75px" %)6x 2V|(% style="width:57px" %)Lead Acid|Due to its heavyweight, a 12V lead acid pack is not often used in mobile robotics, but can certainly be used to power stationary servos.
62 62  |12V +|(% style="width:75px" %) |(% style="width:57px" %) |The servos are not intended to operate beyond 12V, but can accept the voltage of a charged pack (for example up to 12.6V in the case of a charge 3S Lithium pack)

66 -For those who do not intend to use either the LSS adapter or the LSS IO as interface to power the servos, the servos can be powered via the RC cable, or the serial cable. Note that since most RC receivers are intended for standard RC servos, be sure to check the manufacturer's specs before applying more than 6V. Since microcontroller pins cannot provide the current necessary to power the servos, a separate power supply must be used, and a common ground established between the servos, power source and communication source.
