Hi, Ive got 2 batteries 11v and 7v, one goes to motor and the other feeds the logic on a motor shield and an Arduino. Both batteries go through a DPDT switch, so there is no permanent connection to the batteries (the switch cuts the +ve) to allow regeneration charge to flow back to the battery. I've been told to put a power diode in series with the switch, so what rating diode do I use ?
I've got a 11.1 Volt 3S - 24C rated Battery X 5000mah (5AH) = 125 Max Current Amp Draw
My motors have 12 volt 313 RPM Brush Motors The specs are here
Operating Specifications:
Operating Voltage Range: 6~12VDC
Rated Voltage: 12VDC
Rated Load: 4.5 kgf-cm (62.5 oz-in)
Max No-Load Current: 0.52A
No-Load Speed: 313 RPM
Min. Stall Torque: 30 kgf-cm (416.6 oz-in)
Max. Stall Current: 20A @ 12VDC
Dielectric Strength: 250 VAC
Motor Brush Type: Graphite
Output Power at Max. Efficiency: 13W
What diode do you recommend, and I just connect it in series with the switch on the +ve ?
