Purchased a kill switch but curretly looking for advice regarding the voltage and mAh rating of the battery. Thinking a 6v battery woould be the best approach, so what are all using.
I use a 2000mAHr 2S LiPO. During my trouble shooting phase (see earlier) I ran the ignition module on a bench power supply. The module was fine with the voltage between 4.8 - 8.4 Volts. At 7.6V nominal for a 2 cell LiPo it drew 300mA at 6500 rpm. So that would give 6.7 hours full rpm running on a 2000mAhr battery - more than long enough I would suggest!
