I’m using the Jetson Orin Nano Developer Kit (Super Kit) for a drone project and planning to power it using a 4S LiPo battery (4500mAh). For voltage regulation, I have a Pololu D36V50F12 step-down converter, which outputs 12V at up to 4.5A.
I’d like to know if it’s safe to use this regulator to power the Jetson Orin Nano directly, or if I should consider a regulator with a lower current rating. Will the 4.5A output be an issue, or is it okay since the Jetson will only draw what it needs?
Recommend to work closely with your battery and power regulator vendor for a solution which meets your needs. Make sure your power solution can provide/support the peak currents required by the Jetson module. Max module TDP for Orin Super Nano is 25W.
