You can run anything you want. Doesn't matter to me. I only run 4-cell NiMh.
Good for you
But you claimed the DL50 iginition can die feeding it over 4.8v which is incorrect. The ignition module of the DL is an RC-EXL v2 that works fine up to 7 volts so also on an unregulated 2S A123 6.6v <u>if you keep the rpm below 8000</u>. The manufacturer however recommends using a diode which I did. Either the 400x or 500x series is fine and brings the voltage down to 5.8-6v depending on the load/rpm.
4.8v input voltage gives an output voltage of 12kV
6v in, 14.1kV out
7v in, 16kV out.
So yes, a higher voltages gives a hotter spark.
I have been running A123's on the rcexl ignition for two years now with no problems.
mstam1971what do you mean if you keep it below 8000rpm?? I know my engine unloads to more than that in the air at WOT
