Re: RC Powered on 7.2v backup

Consider using feeding the 12v terminals with a 9.6v NiCd RC transmitter battery from Radio Shack or a hobby store as an alternative.
Regular alkaline batteries in a 9, 10.5, or 12v configuration will work also, but you'd want to look at your expected power drain to see how expensive replacing batteries will get.
As Al said, when the RC/servos pull your voltage below 7.5 you'll have to replace or recharge your batteries.
