Default RE: Ignitions on A123 Cells??


ORIGINAL: Josey Wales

1--Yes Im using a JRHD DSC Switch
2--Yes the Cellpro comes with a pigtail and you solder on the connection you want to use
3--Yes
4--Yes-the plug will get warm but it works fine
5--All I did was snip off the stock wires up to the tab and soldered my own wires right on top. The white signal wire was soldered to the existing taps that came with the packs. I didnt add any extra bars. I left the cardboard sleeves on and ca's them together like I did with the 2300 A123's.

So Joe, are you charging through the switch or direct to the battery? I decided to do one A123 2300 two cell on my 35 % and will likely recharge after each flight until I get a track record going.

I wory about how many amps you can send through a switch....say smart fly type witout damaging it. Sure would be nice to not have to cut the canopy loose each flight.
