mecanumrover / Power_Supply

Battery pack and voltage regulators for servos / motors.

  • 3x 18650 LiPo battery (Panasonic NCR18659B, unprotected)
  • 5V output for servo
  • 12V output for main motors
  • LiPo protection and charging circuit
  • charger jack
  • on/off switch
  • voltage and current sensor

Note: the protection board must be connected to a charger before it will provide the correct output voltage!
