I'm dealing with a circuit board that requires 5V DC power and can draw as much as 2 amps.
I want to be able to supply this power with a rechargeable battery pack (Later a wall adapter to power it and charge the batteries).
I'm not an advanced electronics engineer at all, very new to it. I know basics essentially.
What I was looking at doing is coupling two +5V Fixed-Voltage Regulator 7805 in a parellel circuit. Since the voltage should still be 5V output and 6V input, this should effectively double the plausible amps in my mind. Since each of those are rated to 1 amp current, would that give me ~2 amps?
Can anyone offer input on this question?
