I have a DMP - eBox 3350MX x86 Compact PC. It is require the voltage of 5V. I have a battery which has a voltage 7.4V.
Is the battery safe to use on DMP - eBox 3350MX x86 Compact PC?

Hi nepotech

The eBox can ONLY take 5V regulated input.

You should not use any other voltage. The Power supply MUST be 5V regulated and capable of supplying 2A (sometimes it can work with only 1A but it is best to use the 2A in the specification).

To get a regulated 5V you can use :

- A UBEC http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... Categories or

- Alternatively use a dedicated (USB) battery such as the ones discussed here http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... t=45#32399

The second option is much easier to use as it works right out of the box without having to cut or solder any wires; plug... and play.

Pedro.
