H-Bridge Max Input Voltage

What is the max input voltage for the 2.5 amp H-bridge? I am powering a 4wd thumper with 2 H-bridges and wanted to use my 18 volt Dewalt battery packs. is this possible?

That H-Bridge uses an L298N chipset. If you have a look in the datasheet you can see that the maximum is 46-50 Volts. Your battery pack will work fine.

Yup those battery's are very strong if they aren't old. They will provide plenty of juice for your motors. You can use the pwm slider to lower the "power" going to the motors to control their speed. - Josh S
