Six gauge wire is great for large current draw applications such as battery cables and distribution between primary breakers and distribution boards. This cable is resistant to oil, most acids, grease, and even abrasion! That's a TOUGH cable.

Red jacketed cabling is typically used on the positive leg while black is used for ground wiring. Six gauge wires come in rigid PVC insulation or flexible EPDM. Pick your color and pick your insulation type and let your wiring dreams come true.

This kit contains one encoder and one encoder cable. The MA3 is a miniature rotary absolute shaft encoder that reports the shaft position over 360 with no stops or gaps. This is the Analog output version. Half-Turn(180*) = 2.5 V. This version provides a slight bit of drag torque, but it is very minimal. Connecting to the MA3 is simple. The 3-pin high retention snap-in 1.25mm pitch polarized connector provides for +5V, output, and ground.

Our Robot Signal Light is designed to work with the robo-RIO's RSL port to provide a quick visual indicator of robot status. This is not the 855PB-B12ME522 light specified by R70 of the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition manual, but it does provide similar functionality.

We're offering this product so teams can use all the diagnostic features of the robo-RIO at an affordable price when legality and compactness isn't a priority. Our light housing is larger, and it is wired with two spade connectors. There is no polarity on the light housing, so it is not possible to wire backwards. 

To wire this light, we recommend our 2-wire cable (am-2133) and either soldering to the spade connections or using a female spade connector available separately.

Specifications:

• Weight: 0.1085 pounds without lead wires
• Height: 3.23 in. from top of dome to bottom of mounting stem
• Dome height: 2.09 in.
• Dome diameter: 2.24 in.
• Mounting stem diameter: 0.850 in.
• Mounting threads: M22x1.5, nut included

This is the perfect fit to connect any 12V Lead Acid Battery, like the MK ES17-12 to either our 1-Bank or 3-Bank chargers. It also helps connect the Battery Beak to 12V Lead Acid or 7.2V/9.6V/12V NIMH batteries. You can connect to a battery with our Battery Cable installed, and connect to your needs using the Alligator Clips. On the Anderson Power Connector end, the connectors are crimped with a 6-ton pneumatic crimping tool, the others are crimped to Alligator Clips for easy attachment to terminals.

This is a product created by eStop Robotics. The genius of this design is the molded piece that interfaces with features in the 12 volt sealed battery used in competition robotics. The Battery Base molded plastic piece interfaces with a robot battery, while the fastening strap holds the battery onto the Battery Base. This provides a secure method of mounting a battery to a mobile robot base.

This is a battery load tester, capable of delivering an 18 amp load and measuring:

• Internal resistance
• State of charge (SOC)
• Can determine the overall health of the battery

The Battery Beak supports all battery chemistries but has additional features to determine battery health for both Lead Acid and NiMH chemistries in a variety of voltages and capacities. The Battery Beak mates directly with the SB-50A connector used in the FIRST Robotics Competition, but we've created bundles for FIRST Tech Challenge and Vex Robotics users to give them the same great experience. These bundles ship with the Battery Beak configured for the correct battery type and with the appropriate adapter cable for those battery terminals.

The high resolution OLED display displays all the information you need for a quick decision on battery health:

• Internal resistance
• SOC
• Open-load voltage
• Voltage at 1 amp and 18 amps
• Battery status of 'Good', 'Fair' or 'Bad'

The internal resistance measurement is useful in determining if any bad cells are present. When the Battery Beak is used to track a battery's internal resistance over time and compared to its manufacturer specs, it is possible to determine when to take a battery out of service before a failure occurs. The built in powerdown feature allows the Beak to be connected to your battery indefinitely without draining your battery. The housing of the Beak is a durable ABS/Polycarbonate blend and mates directly to the Anderson SB-50A connector.

Included with this part is the Battery Beak and a stylish lanyard.


FIRST Tech Challenge Version Overview (am-3430):

This version of the Battery Beak is designed with FIRST Tech Challenge teams in mind. When you order this version, your Battery Beak will arrive configured for the 12V 3Ah NiMH batteries used in FIRST Tech Challenge. You will also receive the new SB-50A to Tamiya and PowerPole cable necessary to connect to your batteries, whether you left them stock or converted them to PowerPole connectors.

Included Hardware:

• One - FIRST Tech Challenge Battery Configured Battery Beak
• One - SB-50A to Tamiya Adapter (am-2070a) Note: Don't use both the Tamiya and PowerPole connectors at the same time. It will form a complete circuit, which could damage your batteries.

This version of the Battery Beak was made for Vex users! Your Battery Beak will come configured for Vex's 7.2V 3000mAh NiMH batteries, and it will have the adapter cable you need to connect to Vex batteries.

If you use the 2000 mAh batteries, you can reconfigure your Battery Beak in seconds to support the different capacity. Instructions are in the User Manual (PDF).

 

Included Hardware:

• One - Vex Battery Configured Battery Beak
• One - SB-50A to Tamiya Adapter (am-2070a) Note: Don't use both the Tamiya and PowerPole connectors at the same time. It will form a complete circuit, which could damage your batteries.
