| Oct 12, 2020 at 10:32 | comment | added | Chris H | I wonder if there was a bit of extrapolation by the book authors, going from a set of NiMH C- or D-cells (which would work quite nicely) to alkaline AAs which might boot but wouldn't be a good long-term plan | |

| Oct 12, 2020 at 1:41 | comment | added | g491 | @Milliways in light of your comment, would having a higher starting voltage be helpful? Like if I did 8 AA batteries instead of 6 and stepped down to the same 5V, would that result in extra current being available? | |
| Oct 12, 2020 at 1:32 | comment | added | Milliways | In fact a step-down converter would allow MORE current than is drawn from the batteries. A new AA alkaline cell can source 450mA - but NOT for long! | |
| Oct 12, 2020 at 0:50 | comment | added | g491 | Yes @seamus, in series. I wonder why it worked a couple times but not others. I just followed the instructions in a book on robotics with Raspberry Pi (ISBN 1593279205) so it's weird that it wouldn't work, but what you're saying makes sense. | |
