Choosing a battery

The battery connector is non-standard. It is a JST-PH 4-pin, 1.25 mm pitch connector, used for both USB and battery connections.

The kit includes three spare connectors, already fitted with positive (red) and negative (green) wires.
To connect your battery, you will need to solder a Reperix connector to it, either by modifying the battery directly or by creating a custom harness.

  • Input voltage range: 2.8 V to 16 V
  • Maximum power consumption: 200 mW

Typical current consumption:

  • With a 1S LiPo battery (3.7 V nominal):
    200 mW ÷ 3.7 V ≈ 54 mA
    A 1S 200 mAh LiPo (minimum recommended) provides about 3–4 hours of operation.
  • With a 2S LiPo battery (7.4 V nominal):
    200 mW ÷ 7.4 V ≈ 27 mA

⚠️ The board includes reverse polarity protection, but it is strongly recommended to double-check wiring before connecting a battery.
