Large Backup Battery
Our team is using AndyMark Super Shifters this year with servo shifting. I've read here on CD, and found out through testing that the servos drain the backup battery very fast. My question is are we allowed to take 12 NICAD cells and wire it so that we get 7.2 Volts, but twice the milliamp hours? (6 parallel pairs in series)

I know its not legal to use 2 batteries, but I believe this would be considered 1 battery.

Thanks,
Andrew
