That's a good idea! Thanks.

Well crap. Guess I need to find a way to step it down to 5V then...

So 6V is out of question also?

I'm working on a project to turn one of my Honey Bee Hives into a smart Hive with the B+. Question I have is will the B+ run fine on a 12V @ 1.2 AMPs? I'll be running the PI, 12V Fan, 4-5 Sensors, camera and WiFi. I can drop the power supply down to 6V @ 1.2 AMPS if anyone thinks that will be enough...
