Battery Wiring To Produce Multiple Onboard Voltages

There is a company that makes a programmable power supply where you can = tap off about 3 different voltages from one power pack (set of = batteries)

Unfortunately I couldn't find them again on the web. But they did have = ads in Robot magazine and probably Nuts'n'Volts, too. The devices were = pricey, though, from $50 to $200 or so. Depends on your budget & needs. = Separate batteries would certainly be cheaper!

Thanks for all the replies, I think I'll just stick to the 36V pack and run the motors at 33% with a separate battery for the electronics. Seems to be the easiest and should work out just fine.

Thanks again,

Thanks Pogo but I think this 33% way is the best......

Link saved for later.....no doubt I'll probably need something similar at some point :-)
