The walker can be operated from 12v, 24v 36v or 48v battery. Two 12v batteries are shown, wired to give 24v.
Battery fuse
We suggest a fuse is fitted in the battery wiring to protect against wiring faults etc. A 30 amp fuse will suit most applications. Suitable fuses.
Battery disconnect
We recommend some method of disconnecting the battery when the controller is not in use. Our 30amp Power Pole connectors are ideal.
Motor
The Walker gives best results with a good quality permanent magnet brushed d.c. motor. It is not designed for use with brushless motors.
Motor capacitor
With all motor controllers a 10n ceramic capacitor connected across the motor brushes can improve long-term reliability. Many motors are available with this fitted internally. Consult the motor manufacturer.
Power leads
Power connections to the Walker are common 6.3mm push-on receptacles, available loose or pre-crimped to 4mm wire. These should be insulated to avoid short-circuits.
