Hi, waitingme

PLEN2 is using a battery which satisfies NiMH, AAAx5, 6V, 750mAh.

Hi,

is it safe to connect a USB Adapter like Raspberry AC-Adapter (5.1Volt - 2.5Amps) instead the battery?
What is the highest input Voltage of the Controllboard?

Hi hipposen,

The control-board has 2 electric lines.
- One is for servo motors, it satisfies 6V - 1.5A rated (7V - 3.0A maximum rated).
- The other one is for MCU and ICs, these satisfy 5V - 0.5A rated.

Also, USB connector of control-board can only provide electricity to MCU and ICs.
Thus, servo motors don't move if you only connect USB Adapter to USB connector.

Hi Guvalif,

the battery connection kit merge both 2 lines, so i try to find a matching source.
I wanna solder the battery-connector to a usb-cable and power it with a USB-AC Adapter with proper Amps.

I don't wanna use nimh batteries. so i looking for a solution with LiPo,LiFe or 18650(Li-Ion).

Hi hipposen,

Just for reference, we usually use switch science's one as general AC adapter for PLEN series robots.
