The reason it's markd <20v is because it's able to switch devices other than ign. modules? Stuff that may be set up to run on higher voltage.
The newer ign. modules are rated for up to 8.4v. They would not need a voltage limiting circuit as part of a BEC. It's why VV is selling them both ways. -Al
I picked up a bird that seems to have one of these on it, but the Velcro was attached in such a manner that I can barely make out that it says "K-1 and V 2.0" I assume it is what is being discussed here. The back side has a date of 2012.
The questions I have is where to plug it in on my radio (assume a 7 channel RX - though I could go for 8 if that is really really needed) and how do I test it for a voltage drop? Do I need to? The bird has a DL 50 on the nose and that suggests it can handle up to the 8 volts most A123 systems put out. Or am I all wet?
