This is how I run my stater, 3s Lipo works great
I still have a field box but it is used for tools and other big items I don't want all over the floor of the van. I use the 18 volt NIMH pack I bought for a couple bucks with a charger from Harbor Freight to run my starter.Same set up as scale is showing you. Only thing I use a Lipo on is my small electric plane and those packs are stored in double FP bags at all times. LIFE are a bunch safer. I just saw a lipo cook off while the plane was in the air.
I have no battery at all in my field box. When my electric fuel pump finally gave up the ghost that was the end of ever using the power panel too. Just a glow stick and starter are needed now days.
