Default RE: Smart-fly power expander with regulators
ORIGINAL: Chris Smith

For those using Smart-Fly power expanders, do you use seperate regulators with dual 5-cell batteries (Nicd, Nimh) such as their Turbo Reg?
Or is the power expander alone ok?

Thanks,
Chris
You do not want to use 6 volt regulators with 6.0 volt batteries. The Power Expander has diode protection so if one of your batteries fail it wont effect the system. There is a slight voltage drop when you go through the diode.

If you have any other questions about Smart-Fly equipment Robert has a forum here on RCU You can email him from his web site www.smart-fly.com.
