Hi jack
No it won't. I believe the ecu still uses the original 7.2v nicad low voltage off setting which is around 6.6-9v I believe.

I have a problem with my jet cat 140rx, This is a new turbine fitted into a hunter The first start was ok with cat a123 battery 2200 ran for about 4 min then auto shut down since then i have tried to start 6 times but each time the turbine shuts down after about 20 seconds. The gsu reads low rpm I have purged the fuel system 2 times I can’t  see any air in the fuel  lines. I have tried a 3700 3 cell 22c with suggested max of 75 amp, still the same thing happens.  My p80 and 2 x120 have never been any trouble.

Any help would be  appreciated.

Sounds like your not getting enough fuel during the ramping. Read the manuel on how to adjust the accel 1 value.
