Title: ESCs and BEC Post by: aerodev on November 21, 2013, 07:25:12 PM I have read that ESCs with BEC eliminate the need of battery for receiver.
Now I want to use a separate battery for Receiver and still use an ESC with BEC. Is it possible to do that? If yes, how? devashri is online now Send a private message to devashri Title: Re: ESCs and BEC Post by: vishal on November 21, 2013, 07:55:47 PM you can use this easily.
1. if u have one spare channel on your receiver connect your battery there, cut the centre wire of the bec and throttle cable coming from the esc . or use a servo extension cable and cut the wire there. 2. if u don't have an extra channel attach a y servo splitter and on one end connect your battery and on the other your esc, but cut the centre wire of the cable coming from the esc . or use a servo extension cable and cut the wire there.

Title: Re: ESCs and BEC Post by: aerodev on November 21, 2013, 08:12:32 PM Just curious :)
Also is it the BEC that powers the servos? And if i plan to eliminate the BEC how do i select the battery for Rx and servos? Title: Re: Post by: maahinberi on November 21, 2013, 08:16:13 PM Receivers usually work between 4.8 to 6v, which work out to be a 4s or 5s NiCd or NiMh battery pack
Title: Re: ESCs and BEC Post by: maahinberi on November 21, 2013, 08:17:48 PM Nowadays many receivers are also rated for higher voltage allowing you to use a 2s LiPO or LiFePO4 Pack without a voltage reducer.
