Default RE: A123 Batteries

According to the fadec manual the low battery voltage cutoff only applies to the start phase, once the engine is running it will take the battery down pretty low which is not good for LiPo's. As for going to 3S A123 you could run the risk of damage to the solenoid valves which I believe are 6V, not sure what the pump and starter are good to voltage wise, probably around 7V.
