BATTERY VOLTAGE:
All battery packs state a NOMINAL voltage on the pack.
When freshly charged the actual voltage can exceed the NOMINALvoltage.
eg. An 18 volt Ni-Cd pack can read 24 volts when fully charged.
BELTROL takes into account the excess voltage when batteries are freshly charged when listing what is the maximum voltage you can use.
It is the NOMINALvoltage on the battery pack that is the maximum voltage you can use.
The pcb’s have appropriate heat sinking. A cooling fan may be required for operation at higher voltages & temperatures.
NB. THE POWER RATINGS ARE BASED ON 15 VOLTS. HIGHER VOLTAGES MAY REQUIRE FAN COOLING.
SEE THE ACCESSORIES LIST FOR INFORMATION ON RCS LOCO INSTALLATION KITS & BATTERIES.
THE BELTROL ONE YEAR GUARANTEE IS CONDITIONAL ON THE ESC BEING INSTALLED AS PER THE BELTROL INSTRUCTIONS. DAMAGE CAUSED BY MISUSE WILL BE OBVIOUS TO US & IS NOT GUARANTEED.
IF YOU BLOW IT UP & TELL US HOW YOU DID IT, WE MAY WARRANT THE ITEM ANYWAY.
THE PWM OUTPUT OF BELTROL ESC’s SHOULD NOT BE USED WITH ANY DCC DECODER EQUIPPED LOCOS.
