If you connect the 2 buckets with a hose then the bucket with 
higher water level will try to fill the bucket with the lower water 
level until they are equal. It is the same with batteries and this is 
why we should always use the same battery type and cell count 
when connecting the outputs of Wallaby Switch together.

Using Wallaby Switch with a Booma RC DUAL-BAT circuit.

The Dual-Bat circuit allows you to safely connect the 2 Wallaby 
Switch outputs together, effectively isolating the batteries from 
each other. In a single receiver setup a Dual Bat circuit is a great 
idea. The Wallaby Switch internal microprocessor circuit uses an 
internal micro Dual Bat circuit to guarantee supply to the Wallaby 
Switch microprocessors. 

Battery Capacity
DO NOT EVER 

try to get the full mA capacity out of your batteries! 

An attempt to do this may end in disaster.  Wallaby Switch meters 
consumption conservatively but 

NEVER OPERATE YOUR MODEL 

WITH A LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION.  

 

Current carrying capacity of connectors.

Wallaby Switch will handle 15A per circuit (30A 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 
9 servos it is recommended to use a deans style ultra connector.
