DaveE, No problem! The circuitry is designed for 12V batteries and can handle up to 15V or so to accommodate for a fully charged lead-acid batter. We just didn’t want anyone to daisy-chain a pile of other batter types much beyond 12V, which is why we listed 12V.
We hope to be providing full documentation on the new v.5 Mayfly boards soon!
