ORIGINAL: Big feet
Hi all,
I am moving over to the dark side with a JR 2.4G system.
I have followed the threads regarding 'brown out' due to high current causing low voltage from standard 4.8v batteries.
As such I feel a larger battery with a voltage regulator is the way to go.
I am unsure as the the current capacity required for use in my jets.
I have both a Boomerang Elan and a SM F18.

Thanks for the help.
I have been running 5 cell Nicads in my jets for over 20 years with out a regulator or problems.
With the AR9100 or JR 1222 reciever it is real easy to use the dual Nicads since the reciever is built for it, this is about as KISS as it gets. If you use two identical packs you can build a simple harness that hooks the two packs together and allows you to charge them as a single 10 cell pack, so you do not have to worry with an extra charger or taking longer to field charge. just make sure to cycle them individually once in while.
