Re: Backup Battery life and the CMUCam

You want to power the camera as intended so that it is up and running when the match starts including the servos. The camera derives it's power from the backup battery as that battery is the only source of power for the PWM outputs on the RC. An alternative is to use a larger capacity backup battery pack. You can specify a battery pack of your choice from Digikey and they will build whatever you need.
