Default RE: Using a LiPo Battery for ECU

Hi!

I have never had a single issue with the lipos on my JetCats. With the new version I have set it to 2-cell Lipo and use a 2S1P 3200 Kokam. Bfore that I just had it on 6-cell Nicad without any problems, because the ECU will show low batt before you dmage your Lipo.

Make sure you have set it to 2-cell Lipo and not to 3-cell!

Maybe you want to check your Duralites is they can handle the power. If one pack (I recon it's a 2S2P) is stuffed, it might be to much power for the battery. It is not the kero-burner, it is the starter-motor which draws high current.

Greetz,

David
