Hi @Rob80,
Thank you for the photos. It seems that you are using Bosch wiper motors with car battery.
Try connecting R/C receiver and set switches like this:
Can l Use those pins conectors from computer. It seems that are OK. I change the switch on receiver… And connect all those Things, I Don’t know why only status 1 on controller is bright. It seems that controller is not good. When l switch 2 cables m2ab to m1ab the other motor start and the second not moving.

Hi @Rob80,
If you
are using a NiCd or NiMH battery, and
commanding an acceleration causes the motor to jerk and the Error LED to flash on and off, the
battery is depleted.
I am using this sabertooth 2x25 for 2 pairs of 24V wheelchair motors. 4 motors. The Vehicle has about 70 kg weight. The max speed is 6km/h and max 30 degree slope driving. Is my sabertooth to weak?

Hey @Rob80 !
It could be. Do you know other electrical specifications of these motors? For example, nominal current?
When l grab the wheel with motor with my hand with full strenght it can go to 20amp or maybe even more.
I have 4 motors, so 80amps. What is the side Effect of to much power on sabertooth… Automatic decrease the speed of the Vehicle?
Thanks, l will buy saberooth 2x60.
l am using standard 2x12V AGM batteries connected ln series. Is it possible to change standard Agm batteries with something more efficient, like 2x12,8V LifePo4 50Ah? They are good for solar system but will sabertooth 2x60 work with this batteries? Or lipo batteries which can take high discharged current. Can I even get lipo batteries with 50Ah?
Thanks.
