TOPIC: Charging port with Spark 2
Charging port with Spark 2 2 months 5 days ago #74875

I'm currently planning out my wiring for my saber and have come to something I'm not too sure about. I have the wiring diagram for the Spark 2 and I found a post HERE that outline the recharge port layout.
My question is, does the GND from the Spark 2 connect to the PWR-/SW- of the Saberforge recharge port? |

You'll want to wire PWR- to the GND pad, BAT+ to battery positive (either on the battery itself or the board; they should wind up connected either way), and BAT- to the battery negative (directly to the battery). YOu can wire up the switch LED contacts to the recharge port contacts as shown if you have a lit switch.
Page 11 of the Spark 2 manual has a useful diagram for recharge ports as well:

FYI - the wiring diagram shows wiring with a switch craft style RP. Those have a a different pad layout than the 12mm style RPs SF uses.
The pad assignment for the SF RP is: Big pad = positive (common) Inside pad = negative to the board Outside pad = negative to the battery |

Thank you both very much. That has cleared it all up for me.
