Using Intelliswitch with a Booma RC DUAL-BAT circuit.
Intelliswitch now comes with active battery balancing so no need
to add a Booma RC DUAL-BAT.
This technology provides you with
built in battery redundancy effectively isolating the batteries from
each other. You can also safely connect the 2 Intelliswitch outputs
together, In a single receiver setup this is like having 2 separate
battery circuits. The Intelliswitch internal microprocessor circuit
also uses a separate internal micro Dual Bat circuit to guarantee
supply to the Intelliswitch microprocessors.
Battery Capacity
DO NOT EVER
try to get the full mA capacity out of your bat
-
teries! An attempt to do this may end in disaster. Intelliswitch
meters consumption conservatively but
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS
RECHARGE AT 30% to 35% OF BATTERY CAPACITY.
Battery
Recharge Guide:
Battery capacity = 1200mA - recharge at 800mA usage.
Battery capacity = 2600mA - recharge at 1800mA usage.
Battery capacity = 3600mA - recharge at 2500mA usage.
Current carrying capacity of connectors.
Intelliswitch V3 will handle 20A per circuit (40A total). However,
JR or Futaba type servo connectors are designed to carry a maxi
-
mum of approximately 5 Amps per connector. This is sufficient
for most RC models up to 9 servos. If your model has more than
15
9 servos it is recommended to use a deans style ultra connector.
Current capacity will then be limited to Intelliswitch design.
Using Intelliswitch with a voltage regulator
Intelliswitch was designed to work with all current RC products
regulated and unregulated. If you prefer using LifeP04 chemistry
batteries (nominal 6.4v) then Intelliswitch will work excellently in
most RC and Robotics applications without a regulator.
If you prefer to use newer higher 7.2 volt servos then we recom
-
mend using Intelliswitch with Lion (nominal 8.2v) or Lipo batteries
(nominal 8.4v). These batteries will in most cases require a voltage
regulator like the Booma RC Intelli-Reg, Regulator-Pro or Helli-Reg
Pro. These regulators have been designed to deliver professional
results for the most discerning hi-end user. Intelliswitch may also
be used with all other types of regulators and power buss circuits.
