RE: New RCXEL 7.4V
Thats pretty much how I understand it. theres no indication that the output voltage is proportionally higher as a result of the higher input.
the batteries we are always advised to use start off at 5.8V and drop to 4.8V close to the end of the charge with no discernable difference in engine performance as a result of the dropping input voltage. This would indicate that the relationship of input and output voltage is decoupled.
If the extre energy from the higher input voltage is discipated as heat how significant is that extra heat in relation to the heat from the HV at the output side? I can't see that it is..
Is the extra input voltage simply not drawn and the ignition circuit actually draws a constant voltage that is much lower than the nomimal voltage?
