Im thinking again about the posibility of running my p3 off batteries. The 7805 regulator emits 5 volts. It would seem a good idea to feed in the battery supply post this regulator, to save on consumption, but then getting a 5volt cell combination may not be so easy, and those 6v sealed lead acid are easy to come by, and reconable capacities are still cheap. So, do you think that the lazy option of putting a 6v feed pre-regulator is acceptable, or do you have better suggestions? Thankyou, Julian [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
