I am looking to reduce the number of external power supplies for my setup, so I thought about
1. Connect the Venus to the 48V of the battery. Or is Multigrid offering a decent external power port I could use ?
2. As I run a converter which need 5VDC/0.15A I thought about connecting it to the Venus 5V DC out but Venus datasheet says "2USB ports" only. As the USB 1.0 - 3.0 range goes 0.1A to 0.9A I'd like to know the max. amp I can draw.
Any other idea welcome
It is best to connect it to the battery. This way it will always have a reliable power source.
0.15A will be fine on the 5V DC out terminals. This is also a good idea to keep the 304 running if there is a power outage.
Still realigned with this subject, I am thinking of using a raspberryPi (needs 5V / 2.5A), can I use the 5V source of the Venus GX?
thanks in advance
To connect a RasPi to a 48V bank I use an E-Bike USB charger. This device exactly:
