Default RE: BEC VS Receiver Battery(s)


ORIGINAL: sweli


Rodney, Do you have to kill the BEC power from the ESC?
I have an ESC that pushes 5V (max) 2 Amps back to the receiver.
If were to add a battery pack also(4.8v with AA nimh's) I don't think it would kill the servo's or ESC. Do you think it would harm the receiver?
thx
You would be effectively dumping the built-in Bec's output back into the battery. which is one reason this is not done, without some form of isolation or switching.
