I've got a Jet2 wheelchair base. The two motors require two 12V batteries. All of the wiring diagrams for the Sabertooth 2x25 that I've seen so far just show 1 battery. I of course have 2. Am I supposed to be wiring my two batteries in series? Or in parallel? or do I just connect both battery reds to Sabertooth B+ and both blacks to Sabertooth B-?
I've read the whole Sabertooth 2x25 manual and all the Jet2 manual & materials I can find. I've already disconnected and removed the brakes in my motors. I know I'm not the first person to use a Jet2 with a Sabertooth 2x25. I must be Googling the wrong words. Help? Links?
Thanks!
Earlier I somehow smoked my Sabertooth 2x25. Not sure how I did that as I was very careful with black vs red. Sigh...
The batteries are not recently charged so 22.9 is reasonable I suppose.
You may want to put the batteries in parallel and test it at 12V to see if it is fast enough. Those scooters hum right along. With a light weight robot you might find that full speed is dangerously fast. If 12V isn't enough, you can easily switch it up to 24V.
@Danger, yes I agree that 12V seems to be more than enough so I am wiring the batteries in parallel for now. If the load (snow plow) proves too much then I'll switch to series.
Thanks y'all!
