I am looking at buying a cheap 12v rechargable battery power supply for a project that would control two worm drive motors on a 12v single rail.
The power supply can be found here:
The motors can be found here
I am looking at the 100 RPM version of this worm DC motor which aren't explicitly speced in the product description. The 62 RPM one runs with a minimum power draw of 0.41 amps with a max stall of 2.52 amps. I plan on running two of these motors in a series in order to support the load for my project, but I do not expect the load to exceed or get close to the max torque that these motors could provide together.
If the motors were maxing out their torque loads, it would draw close to 6 amps. My battery power supply only provides 2.4 amps. Given these motors have 10kg.cm torque loads each, and I only need about 12kg.cm of torque between two of these in a series, I would estimate my amp draw to be right around the 2ish-2.4 amps which is the max limit of my power supply. I also am slightly overestimating the loads of my project to make my project a little more forgiving to design errors, so it's very possible it will draw even less amperage than these estimates.
Since my projections are rather close to the limit and the numbers aren't 100% precise, when prototyping a design, I would like to attach a 2.4 amp fuse (found here) in order to protect the battery and circuit from blowing. The only problem is the fuses do not seem to have a connection that easily pairs with the proprietary output terminal of the battery pack, and I do not want to solder the fuse onto the connection as this would defeat the purpose of being able to remove the battery from the device.
How would I install one of these fuses, for example, between this battery pack and an L298N H-bridge controller? Thanks in advance ![]()
