Electronic – R/C BEC with a 12v lead acid

batteriesremote control

Pretty much all BECs (Battery Eliminator Circuit) are rated to work fine with 12v input but I haven't seen any that mentions lead acid batteries. Almost all datasheets for BEC regulators have write ups such as:

Input voltage: 6V to 33.6v (2s-8s lithium, up to 21 NiMHs)

Is there any concerns using these devices together with a large 100Ah Sealed lead acid (marine) battery?

Best Answer

As long as the input voltage is in the specified range, the BEC does not know or care what kind of battery is connected to it. A BEC should work fine with a marine lead-acid battery.
