Re: Using 7.2v charger as BackupBattery
The CMUCAM2 spec sheet says it will run on 6 to 15VDC. Why not use the 12V main power on the 'bot? The camera is not much drain on the big battery, and then the backup battery can go back to its life of neglect and apathy.
Even if it didn't like 12VDC, I'd be tempted to get a voltage regulator and run it off the 12VDC main battery anyway.
