Power

The PASCO Variable Speed Motorized Cart can use four “C” cells (batteries) that are not included. NOTE: The PASCO PI-6603 is 
a four pack of “C” sized alkaline batteries. The cart can also be powered by a DC power supply (such as the PASCO SE-9720 18 
VDC, 5A supply), or by certain PASCO Interfaces (such as the 

ScienceWorkshop

 750 Interface and the Power Amplifier II 

(CI-6552A), or the 

Universal Interface

 850), or the PASCO Xplorer GLX datalogger (PS-2002) and GLX Power Amplifier 

(PS-2006). 

The included cable has a 3.5 mm phone plug at one end and banana plugs at the other end. The banana plugs can be connected to 
the output ports of the PASCO Power Amplifier, for example. The 3.5 mm plug fits into the External Input Port on the cart.
