Does AGX Devkit need a regulator on board?

Hi there!

We are wondering if the AGX Devkit could connect directly to a vehicle battery without any regulator? The voltage of a vehicle battery usually stays between 9V and 14V. Has anyone tried this?

Best,
Kai

Dear xiaokaiuuloi,

I’d like recommend using a regulator for protection of Drive AGX if you want to install Drive AGX in a car. Thanks.

Thank you Steve,

Then the question is what kind of regulator shall I choose? The peak power of AGX is said to be 800 Watts. It is really hard to find such a powerful regulator to transform from 12V to 220V. Have you any recommendations for the regulator or any experience? Thanks a lot for your help.

Best,

Kai
