I just measured the current draw from my uPC, and it's around 3.9Amps at 5 volts. I'll need to get 5V from the 9V battery I have. Since the 7805 has a limit of 1 Amp output, I was thinking of just putting four 7805s in parallel.
Any problems you see with using four 7805s in parallel, or precautions I should do (such as using diodes to isolate them from each other). Also, any more elegant solutions that don't cost very much that you're aware of?
