How to use 3DR Power Module for Pixhawk?

3DR Power Module can use 3S-6S batteries.

3DR Power Module can use 3S-6S batteries. It is recommended to use 3-4S batteries, if you use 6S batteries, you must pay attention to the following operations:
The 3DR Power Module supports up to 6S batteries. The 3DR Power Module must be connected to the ESCS or PDB first. If the 6S batteries are connected without ESCS or PDB first , it may cause the 3DR Power Module to breakdown and burn due to excessive current! This means that if you are using a 6S battery, the 3DR Power Module must be connected to the power distribution board (the power distribution board is connected to the ESC, and the ESC is connected to the motor) and then the battery. You cannot directly plug in the battery without connecting the power distribution board!

Some batteries have a relatively large instantaneous current, whether it is 3S or 4S, it is recommended to operate according to the above method.6S must operate in accordance with the above requirements.
