Re: Rules Change I Would Like to See - Batteries

Allowing 12v to 5v regulators would be a lot more useful in my opinion. There's not need to have a separate battery when you can just step down the PDP voltage.
Sometimes the VRM doesn't have enough power to give. Even the 5v 2a slot isn't enough for some applications, and I dislike the extra loose wires that it requires. Ultimately though, there's not enough need for more 5v power to make it worthwhile imo.
