Hey guys! I am electrical engineering student and i have a project running. My supervisor told me to control this motor Pololu - 47:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx52L mm with 48 CPR Encoder. It needs 6V supply and has a maximum current of 2.2A. What battery should i use with this motor? If i put 4AA batteries, will they be able to give a 2.2A current if needed? I have searched a lot but people say that a battery can theoretically supply whatever current needed but for different time, according to its mAh capacity. Others say that a battery can handle limited current.
Any help?
