What 12V batt to power Lawmate 1000mW Tx
I just ordered a Lawmate 1000 mW Video transmitter and it needs 500mA-h at 12V to operate. I was wondering what is the best choice out there to power it? Is a 11.1V Li-po close enough? Would be nice if it did, since I have a 2000mA-h 11.1 Li-Po in my inventory. If not, I guess I'll just have to buy a 14.8v pack.
Thanks
Georges

Georges,
The 2000 mah 11.1v LiPo will work fine and should provide enough power for about an hour, but much less if it is cold!
You may want to do some ground testing for the duration in conditions the battery will be exposed to. You will either have to time the battery usage, or use a LVC so that you don't over-discharge the LiPo.

Thanks Bob,
That's good to know. And I'll fly in the spring so no problem there. In the meantime, I have a bathroom remodeling project to keep me grounded...
