Battery based DC motors

Feb 24, 2006 2 Replies

I am looking into building a motor controlled lift.



I need it to be portable.



The motor I have in mind may draw 30 Amps under full load.



I have read that a voltage boost regulator is a good thing to have between the battery and the motor.



So, my question is:



Where can I find a 12-14V in, 12V+ out at 30+ amps boost regulator??



Build or buy is fine.

You've misunderstood what you read. Repost on sci.electronics.basics to find out how. Here, all I am obliged to do is to point that a voltage boost regulator wouldn't do anything useful in your application.

Really? Where did you read that? If your battery is properly rated for the load you shouldn't have a problem. I have seen thousands of lift gates out there hooked directly to a battery, lots of vehicle winches too.......
