Powering the VS terminal in the SSC-32

Hello guys…i need some help with powering the VS terminal in the
SSC-32 controller…im new to these stuff and dont wanna burn anything…

its says in the SSC-32 manual the follwing:
VS of 7.2vdc 2800mAh NiCad or NiMH battery packs for up to 24 servos.
VS of 7.4vdc 2800mAh LiPo battery packs for up to 24 servos.
VS of 6.0vdc 1600mAh NiCad or NiMH battery packs for up to 18 servos.
VS of 6.0vdc 2.0amp wall pack for up to 8 servos.

i cant find these specific batteries specifications…what i found is the following:
1- Rechargeable lead acid battery 6 volts and 4 amp…
2- Rechargeable Energizer battery 1.2V and 2500mA
3- Rechargeable Sony battery 1.2V and 2100mA
4- Rechargeable Radioshack battery 1.2V and (2000mA or 2400mA)

could anyone please tell if any of those above can be used ?
ofcourse i do know that in case of options 2,3 and 4…im gonna use 5 batteries connected in series…im just worried about the ampere of each of them…

im using 7 servos, 2 of them are micro servos
(4) HS-475HB… (1) HS-422…(1) HS-85BB and (1) HS-81

actually, the ones used in the Lynx 6 Series of Robotic Arms

thank you

Here are links to two of the batteries we sell that will work.

VS of 7.2vdc 2800mAh NiCad or NiMH battery packs for up to 24 servos.(BAT-04)
VS of 6.0vdc 1600mAh NiCad or NiMH battery packs for up to 18 servos.(BAT-03)
(Comes with arm) VS of 6.0vdc 2.0amp wall pack for up to 8 servos.

All of the batteries you mentioned should work just fine. However you must be wary of cheap battery holders, as they will not be able to provide the needed current because of the small wires and the friction connections they provide.

thank you for your fast response…

im sorry for bothering you more but i just want to make sure that the Rechargeable lead acid battery will work just fine…

i mean its a 6V battery but 4 amp…which means 2 more amperes than required for powering 8 servos…is that okay ?

thanks again

Yes, that battery will work. More amps means that the battery will last longer, that’s all.

If by “amp” he really means “amp-hour”, then that is true, but “amp” by itself usually means current. :wink:

Either way, any of the 6V batteries should be fine for an arm.

thank you

you’ve been really a great help…

again thanks
