Specifications¶
| Metric | Specification | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum continuous current in main board | 160A, typical | |
| Maximum continuous current for the DC 5V main port | 3A | |
| Maximum continuous current for the DC 5V Auxiliary port | 5A | |
| Maximum continuous current for the DC 12V Auxiliary port | 5A | |
| Input voltage range | DC 7.4~33.6V (2~8S Lipo battery) | |
| Size | 54mm*54mm*7mm | |
| Weight | 40g | including the dafault XT60 cable |
Notes:
(1) The default XT60 cable (12AWG) allows norminal 30A and maximum 60A current, and can be used for small current scenarios only.
To support a maximum 160A continuous current, users have to change the cable and corresponding battery connectors. The recommended configuration is:
cable: 1/0 AWG or higher;
battery connector: ANCHI 175A600V dual pole connector.
(2) The 12V auxillary power port is enabled with 4~8S input voltage only. The 5V auxillary power is always available.
