A-123 preliminary tests show that the lower voltage although it works, confuses the ECU. By that I mean a perfectly good running turbine is now dealing with lower voltage. During start up, the starter motor turns at a lower RPM due to amp draw. You now risk the possibility of a Hot Start.

Once running at Idle, it is necessary to bring the throttle up to full throttle. When reaching High throttle or WOT, you must leave the throttle at full until the RPM's reach the pre set maximum then. . .reduce 1 click at a time pausing for 5 seconds each click until you reach idle. It is not necessary to alter the Throttle curve in the ECU (Linear - Half Expo and Full Expo) as this is only trying to compensate for an ECU which has not learned it's new data based upon a battery change. Throttle curve should be left at Full Expo for this exercise, then flown and if and only if you feel the need to change the throttle curve. . .do it now.

ECU is pre set at 6.v for low voltage cut off. Do not change this setting as it affects "start up."

We are continuing to work with A123 set ups. Still prefer the LiIon 7.4v battery we supply for the ECU.
