I know current RCEXL specifications.
I ask for preferences for the ignition battery.

Thanks
OK, anything but a lipo for a gas powered model
There is a simple fix if you want to run a CDI ignition significantly above 6V, that is to use a regulator on the input. For a CDI ignition to work reliably from 4.8V to 8.4V reliably, it would have to have an internal regulator, there is no other way to do it. So why make the module more expensive when most users will use a battery of the correct voltage, or just use their own regulator.
