Re: Car Battery for post-season bot
well, i want longer battery life, that is good enough for me. My design was changed so i dont need extra power to the motors or go faster. I just need to have 4 motors running, a compressor, and one solenoid. So, i dont think ill over heat it with the EX battery we use now in comps. The motors wont be running when i use the solenoid to pressurize the actuator. I just want it to run a like 20-30 minutes minimum. I can add a lot of fans and heat sinks for over heating issues, and i dont understand why car batteries are not sealed. Well, how do i solve the amp problem?
