Olly P Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Please see 2 images below. the heavy wire indicates 'main' voltage, and the smaller wire the normally lower voltage required for the radio system. the battery setup shows 2 batteries of same specification, i.e. same number of packs, and same capacity linked in parrellel to increase effective capacity, they can be replaced if you wish with any single battery. The red wires indicate positive, the black wires negative. The unmarked boxes are your chosen sonnectors, in my case deans ultra's. The servo's are connected in the usual way to the Rx pack. Images comming shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly P Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 and just to illustrate the other method of connecting up, this is a series set-up so you can connect say 2x2s batteries to create 1x4s, again ensure they have the same capacity!

Tim Mackey Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I should point out here that the use of the UBEC as illustrated above by Olly is NOT a requiremnet of parallel or series connecting of batteries. Also, when in parallel it is not essential that both packs are of the same capacity... but it is if using them in series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly P Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Thanks Tim, that clears up some confusion on my part! I will do a couple of diagrams without ubecs when I get chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon UK Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Great post Olly, now here's a question , if i wanted to leave the batteries in situ (say A123 cells) and therefore would like easy access to charging. How and where in the Wiring setup would i run a seperate charging plug say to the side of the fuzz? I hope my question makes sense, and a diagram would speak a thousand words CheersSimon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Simon, Sometime last year someone posted photos showing the solution on this forum. I thought I'd made a sketch of the wiring diagram, knowing I'd need it in future, but I can't find it at present. The poster may have been Frank Skillbeck, Matt Halton or Tom Foreman, I can't recall for sure. Any takers? I do remember that the wires to the charge socket have to be in such a way that they by-pass the BEC. I'm sure a guru will be along in a mo.............

Pete B Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I knew I'd find it if I tried hard enough! Here is the thread with the piccies. Credit must go to peevie!! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
