Patent attributes
The present invention provides an electronic speed controller capable of detecting a battery type, which comprises a circuit board, a speed control module, a first detection socket, and a power socket. The speed control module has a first power management mode and a second power management mode. The first detection socket and the power socket are electrically connected with the speed control module. The former is provided to connect a first connector of a battery and the latter is provided to connect a second connector of the battery. The speed control module detects whether the first detection socket is in conductive status so as to determine the battery being a first type battery or a second type battery. If the battery is determined as the first type battery, the speed control module performs the first power management mode. Otherwise, the speed control module performs the second power management mode.
