Discontinued Parallax serial servo controller max amperage

Does anyone know what the maximum amperage is that you can feed into the controller?· I know from the pdf that you can use a 7.4volt battery.· I'm planning a project that will use four standard servos and six micros.· I'm going to use a BOE to send serial commands to the controller.· But I'm a little concerned on the draw of the servos.
I'm using the Hitec HS-55 micro servos and HS-645MG standard servos.·
The current drain on the 645MG is listed as:
Current Drain (4.8V): 5.4mA/idle and 150mA no load operating
Current Drain (6.0V): 5.5mA/idle and 180mA no load operating
The current drain on the HS-55 is listed as:
Current Drain (4.8V): 5.4mA/idle and 150mA no load operating
Current Drain (6.0V): 5.5mA/idle and 180mA no load operating
The one of the micro servos will probably have constant load (though I hope to make it light) and two of the standards will have constant load while operating.
