since you have an electric car and you have an esc that plugs into the ch 1 port can you just put this into the batt port?

You sure can, or if you're not using a third or fourth channel on your receiver you can plug into that too. Hope this helps

You will likely fry the esc. I am not as familiar with nimhs. I run lipos. Are you running in series or parallel?

yes, most OEM's today use standard electronic for recharging from portable batteries, car, computer as long as the port has a power source. The cable provided will connect to any standard USB 2 or 3 port in your car using a standard convertible cigaret lighter port or any of the previous mentioned power sources. I had to fashion a sock for the neck so it didn't stick other than that a good buy.

Yes you can. BUT!!! I would recommend an external power supply if you're talking about putting them in a computer. I know from professional experience that most computer power supplies don't have enough reserve output to handle that many properly. If one of them flickers or you unhook it and reconnect it while the computer is running, it will cause a hard reboot and you know that's how files get damaged. Hope that helps! A cheap battery charger is much better than using the computer power supply for multiple cold cathode kits. Stability is good... :):):) I also use a few of them for workbench and cabinet lights connected to a 12 volt battery with an automatic charger. Pretty sweet... In a car or boat you'd be good for probably however many you want!!! :):):)

No. It requires a esc and battery appropriate to that esc (7.4v NiCd or Lipo battery is most common)

Using this as a "power supply" is not recommended with sensitive d.c. electronics (radios, test equipment) and such. Car battery chargers don't have "clean d.c. output filtering. But you can attach charger to an auto/marine, etc. type battery and then connect to the battery then. The battery acts somewhat like a filter and your current should be acceptable. I've only done this in an emergency 2 or 3 times in the past 50 years, but it works. Otherwise straight out of the charger could damage "high end" electronics. Straight out of the charger to a radio, you'll probably notice an over bearing loud Hum coming from the speakers, that's unfiltered d.c. Good luck in your experimenting!!!

No, not unless your cigarette or power port is only powered with the engine running. But it's a moot point because a large power unit such as this needs to be wired directly to the battery. It can draw way more power that the fuse or wiring of a power port can handle.

You cannot, it is made for use on a 12v system, such as that that a car runs on. If you really wanted to, you could use a 12v converter and try that, but i doubt it would work well.

I would recommend at least a 2S lipo battery, you won't be sorry. Tested with a NiMh, but I got a lot more power and runtime with a 2S lipo. I didn't bother to reprogram the ESC just to have the NiMh as a spare, so it's been in storage ever since.

The sidewinder esc comes with no connector on it so you can solder whatever end is required for your battery. I highly recommend using a 2s lipo battery. You will be disappointed using the battery that you mentioned. I use deans connectors on all my rc's. Batteries and esc's. Hope this helps.

No, it does not "charge" them for use in something else, It is a capacitor bank that acts as a single capacitor for stabilizing current going into the ESC... The capacitors are removable with a soldering iron but I'm not sure why your would want to do that, it would be cheaper to just buy lose capacitors specifically for your application...
960059
yes you can you just need to find something that connects to the battery. You should be able to find something at a hoby shop

Yes it can run on non lipo batteries. But what kind of car/truck are you planning on putting it in? The only thing about this esc is that you have to solder the battery connentor on it.

Yes or you could use other 12v socket in the car, it's actually better than hooking up to power directly ..when you turn of the car it turns of the monitor.

Yes you can. As stated in my other responses, I used mine for all situations, from cell charger to running power strips to power my house. A separate battery charger is ideal, bc then the charger is mobile, not stuck with the vehicle. I would recommend the Die Hard Branded one from a local auto parts store, roughly $50, it will do AGM(deep cycle batteries), trickle charge and conventional batteries.

Hello Dawn, the Q1 comes with a DC adapter that allows you to connect directly to your car battery.

First...yes. You can use this to replace your normal starting batt. Its designed to start the car and allow you to run your accesseries without the engine running. And second, No...You dont have to do that. The battery is just a energy " piggy bank". Its job is to store the energy made buy your alt and send it out when needed to what every your running inside the vehicle. The reason you get a batt like this is because it can discharge many times and not eventually degrade the batterys effectiveness over time. And it helps stabilize vehicle voltage. Its a very good batt.
