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???

If you send it to JetCat in Germany they change the mother board and the battery socket on the PC board is changed to a red one, the unit is then marked with 12v, if your turbine is a Kero start you need a three cell A123 battery to power up the plug.
