The aeroPAX6 battery carrier allows aeroPAX smart batteries to be easily integrated into a range of platforms without needing to develop specialized mounts, connectors or wiring harnesses. The carrier PCB can be connected directly to the vehicle's ESC (electronic speed controller) with no cabling requirements, and also offers two I2C (JST GH) and two CAN ports, as well as a 5V/10W output for autopilots and other electronics. Board connectors are also compatible with the Pixhawk flight controller power module cable.
Two versions of the carrier are available - one with protected outputs for parallel operation, and one without. The protected outputs ensure that active connectors are never exposed when only one battery is in the system, allowing for an empty and a full battery to be connected at the same time and enabling the empty battery to be hot-swapped.
