Firstly I am a newbie in electronics. Been a software developer for over 10 years and I know my way around desktop hardware, but that's mostly it.
I am self-teaching robotics using Raspberry Pi. I bought this battery pack a few months back and it works well when connected directly to the Pi board.
However I would like to connect it to this motor controller which is in turn connected to the PI. Problem is this controller accepts + and - wires rather than USB.
I opened up the pack and I am hoping to get help here on understanding the bits and pieces of what I am looking.
Please see image attached
Firstly: what is the white material there and what is its purpose?
Secondly: this battery has two outputs: a USB one; the left side and an AC one; second from the right. Why is the AC output covered in white material?
Finally: how can I hack it so that it outputs two wires out of the AC or USB output?
