Adjustable Step Down Voltage Regulator

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hi I was wondering what is the best digital voltmeter displayed adjustable step down voltage regulator to use with the ezb v4 when powered by the ez robot 7.4 vdc lipo battery or battery's of a higher voltage. I am planning on buying the ez robot lipo battery but I plan on using higher voltage batteries later on for more power and longer life but I need the right regulator so I don't kill the ezb v4, sensors an servos. Any one know what I should buy? Sorry if I ask a lot of questions I just hate to blow up my equipment before I can us it. Im new to the robotics thing

If you use the EZ-Robot batteries with the Deans connectors, one of these is what you need to parallel them together.

If your looking for a way to to drop voltage from between 25v to 5v to a Selectable Output between 4.8 - 9.0V I found a great little Bec 10A 6S Switching Regulator by Castle Creations. It's super small (only about 1 inch x 1/2 inch), programmable output voltage (With an extra unit you have to buy), runs cool because it a switching regulator and will handle up to 10 amps draw. Here's the specs:


*1.2" (30mm) x .6" (15mm) x .4" (10mm) , Weight: .4oz (11g)
*Input voltage: 5V to 25.2V (2S to 6S LiPo)
*Current output: 12 volts input = 7 amps continuous, 10 amp peak
*Current output: 24 volts input = 5 amps* continuous, 7 amp peak
*Selectable Output: 4.8 - 9.0V via the Castle Link (sold separately), Default voltage is 5.1V
