Re: IFI Operator Interface Power Consumption
Even though the AC adapter provides 9V, our team has used 12V batteries without any issues before (without a 9V regulator).

On a side note, using a battery to power the OI will void the warranty, but it is definitely nice not to have to plug in the OI all the time while testing the robot and getting everything working at a demo.
