BOOSTXL-DRV8301: Feeding power to development board

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LAUNCHXL-F28069M, BOOSTXL-DRV8301

Hi,

I have bought a LAUNCHXL-F28069M and a BOOSTXL-DRV8301. I intend to use them for controlling a BLDC motor (small motor like the ones used for drones).

After I checked BOOSTXL-DRV8301 specifications, I saw that it supports 6 to 24 V and up to 10 A.

How do you recommend to feed the power to the development board?

After I checked on net, I saw that there two ways to obtain 24 V: batteries(alkaline, NiMh, LiPo, lead acid) and power supplies(SMPS).

I tend to use SMPS because I am not familiar with batteries(the way how they and their chargers should be used). I found some local sites which sell such devices with the following characteristics: 24 V & 13 A.

Do you consider there will be a problem if I will use SMPS?

Thank you.
