At the minute, I'm trying to assemble the money and components for my first build, a FW axebot. I am planning on buying some 18v drills for the drive. I am also planning to run the whole robot off the same set of batteries. I had a few questions:

  • I understand that FW electric axes normally use 24v scooter motors. Would I be able to run these off the same battery as my 18v drill drive motors, or would I need higher-voltage drive motors to avoid overvolting them too much?
  • If so, what voltage and Ah rating would be recommended for this battery?


Thanks.
