That is what I did in order to use 2 packs of 1100mah A123 on my WH Edge 540. I use the Triton charger with a cut-off device and a balancer to limit the charge current t 1.5A. Slightly longer charge time but would not let high current pass through the two switches.

I can have 4 flights without recharging. The plane has 5 high-current digital servos.

Cheers.
You can chage at up too 10amps through the Fromeco Kodiac switch.

To record the used capacity in a switch is a cool design. Thanks for letting us know.

Since these MPI switches have already been installed, I did not want to damage the contact points on them. Maybe some high-current switches in the future.
