5.POWERSUPPLY
SmartDriveDuo60 supports input voltage ranges from 10V to 45V. The recommended power
sourcesare:
● 6–18cellsNiMHorNiCdbattery.
● 3–6cellsLiPoorLiIonbattery.
● 10V–45Vsealedleadacidbattery.
● 10V–45Vpowersupply(Mustbeinparallelwithabatterywithsamevoltage).
The power source can be connected to SmartDriveDuo60 either via the terminal block, or
soldered directly to the pad at the bottom layer. There is no polarity protection on
MDDS60,pleasedoublechecktheconnectionbeforeconnectingtopowersource.
NOTE:
1. If a power supply that cannot sink current is being used (example: bench top and AC to
DC switching power supply), the input voltage will rise when the driver is regenerating
(motor is slowing down). Thus, it is important to connect a battery with same voltage
in parallel with the power supply to absorb the current generated by the motor. Else,
the input voltage might rise to a level where SmartDriveDuo60 will be destroyed
