I recently posted a question about the regulator 7805 (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062599&cp=&sr=1&kw=regulator&origkw=regulator&parentPage=search) and I was wondering if 6v input would provide a 5v output. The answer I got was no. They said that this regulator operates from 7.5 volts to 20 volts to produce 5 volts. I was wondering, since I can't use 6 volts, if I were to just attach two 6 volts in series to produce 12 volts, would this create an output of 5 volts? If so, about how many amps would it put out as well?
