3W 6V ignition
 
Can anyone tell me if I can use a 6.6v life with no regulator on a 3W ignition that says 6v on a red dot
Thanks!

Sorry, I'm not familiar with life series batteries; however, I have been running a 5-cell NiMh pack (~6v nominal...6.5v peak) on my 6v 3W ignition system for several years without any issues. Hope you're able to find someone out there better able to address you're question. In the meantime...

I did have the sensor magnets on my 3W-75US slowly give up the ghost. During the period before failing completely, they gave me fits! Changes in idle speed, hard starting, quit on landing, etc.. I replaced both the magnets in the hub myself (with instructions from Acft Intl) and all has been well ever since.

Thanks for the reply FSF. The life's pretty much stay at 6.6 so I think I'll give them a try
