Sorry about this newbie question, especially if it has been asked before ('search' is too general to ferret out the topic).
Can a controller for a brushed or brushless motor be powered by a battery with a higher voltage rating? Does it moderate the voltage passed to the motor? If not or if the controller is likely to go up in smoke and flames, is there an electronic device - neither too heavy or large or inefficient - that can intermediate between battery and controller to match their voltage?
Similarly, does a controller with a wattage rating, say 500, limit the current to the motor such that the watts to the motor do not exceed the controller rating by much?
