Hi guys,

Happened to see this thread, and thought I´d better take the opportunity to ask a couple of questions.......

I have been using 2 cells LiPo packs with my power box systems as well as my JetCat ECUs.
Having read horror stories about LiPos catching fire when charging etc. I seriously consider to use LiFe /A123 batteries in the future on my Jets.

Questions are: Can I use the 6.6 volts LiFe cells with the powerbox and with the ECU instead of 7.4 volts???

/Pete
You can use the 3 cell Life batteries, 9.9 volts, but the ECU has to be sent to JetCat to be modified to do so.
