5858
* Measure the voltage on unknown batteries with a volt meter before you use them with Jolt.js, and ensure they're under 18v **and** the correct polarity.
5959
* See `Powering Jolt.js` below before you attempt to power Jolt.js from anything other than USB or a 3.7v LiPo battery on the JST connector
6060
* When developing with Jolt.js, **communicate via Bluetooth wherever possible**. While Jolt.js can do USB, ensuring your expensive PC isn't physically connected is a great idea just in case there are any loose wires or ground loops.

* **⚠️ Some switch-mode bench power supplies are very badly regulated.** While charging up the capacitors inside Jolt.js some can overshoot the selected voltage by over 60% (so 12v becomes 20v for a few milliseconds) and can destroy your Jolt.js.

Please use under 12v and 100mA unless you are 100% sure of the quality of your power supply.
