i know folks are doing it, what would the fully charged voltage be on a lipo transmitter battery. At what point would you recharge.
Thanx
When I first got into 2.4 Ghz radios one of my first was a Futaba 6EX, I bought a 3S lipo for it but did a bit more research after buying the lipo (yep, too late then) and decided the risk wasn't worth it so I never used it.
A 3S LiPo fully charged will give you around 12.6 volts.. Probably a little high for a TX designed around 8 NiCd / NiMh cells ( max I get from those is about 11.6volts)
I would recharge it when the voltage drops to 11.1 Volts. (3.7 volts per cell)
