# Voltage Regulator

<figure><img src="/files/NG0SAcYVHhpu2gLa6E9c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The <mark style="color:red;">VBAT</mark> is connected to the battery's positive terminal and <mark style="color:red;">5V</mark> is connected to the board/servo.

It is good practice to use two separate voltage regulators to supply the board and the servo from different sources.

{% hint style="info" %}
The MG995 and MG996R servos have an operating voltage range of 4.8V to 7.2V. Increasing the voltage supplied to the servo will improve its speed and torque. However, the board should be supplied with no more than 5V to ensure safe and stable operation.
