JAE 12 LiPo Receiver Pack

[Peter Gise]

In an effort to keep the weight down I was thinking about running a 1S LiPo and a 5V booster module but most 1S LiPo's are only 400mAh. One possibility would be to run 1S2P using two packs to get the mAh up.

Anyone ever tried this?

 

[BrianTooms]

No, but I've used 200mah 2s they are not much bigger than a postage stamp 1/2" thick. I did try a couple in parallel because I was nervous about run time.

Now I've switched to a 850mah Hyperion Life.

Thanks! I think I'll go with a 2S LiFe...

IMO too much low AMPS.....I've been running in my G3(lite) .12 Nova 5 ports a small pack made with 5 AAA 900mAh. to ensure enough power to the rudder servo.

your better off to run a bigger life pack like the hobbie co 1300 its like 2.3 x1.5 x 1 '' Thats what im going to run should give good run times and power pluss safer than a lipo.You might need to run a volt reg to lower it to 6 volt if your rx and servos cant handle the 6.6 v .
