Default RE: Ignitions on A123 Cells??

Rich - if this is any help.... I have three airplanes, using Hitec 5955's on ail (2), elev (2) rudd (1) and a Hitec 5625 or something like it for throttle on all three. Average current per flight is about 265-340 ma, depending on throttle setting, how crazy, etc. These are average of 8-10 min. flights.

BTW - what I do is keep track of radio "on" time at the flying field per session....then watch the Cell Pro tell me how much current it has to put back, and I go all the way through peak, just to be consistent.

I use dual switches just to provide redundant paths; each is rated at 5A DC, I believe, they are the Maxx Products Heavy Duty charge switch.
