6V question - 2/19/2002 12:33:22 PM

Status: offline 		I recently purchased a new engine with a 6V ignition battery pack. The inclosed instructions said to regulate the 6V to about 5.3V.

I've seen discussions referring to regulators, but have not the slightest idea where to purchase. I've not yet seen this specific item advertised. Or is disguised? Or do I just use a zener diode? Seems like this is a waste of battery capacity being converted to heat. I probably should just get a 4.8V pack, but an inquiring mind wants to know.

Thanks,
Roger

Thought it might provide a hotter spark.
Looking at the prices from the sources you provided, looks like I can just purchase an 1100mah 4.8 pack for about the same price. I think I'll do that. Fewer connections to have problems with.
Thanks,
