11.1 lipo in transmitter
i have a jr8103 trans with a spektrum mod in it. anyone if i can put a 11.1 lipo in it to power my trans, or will this burn something out .i see the 11.1 lipos for sale for these reasons ,but its more then the nicd that come with the radio . help please thx

You could also use an Eneloop battery or a LiFe battery pack. Both operate at a lower voltage.
I have not had any issues with LiPo packs in any of my Transmitters, and I have been using these packs for several years.

So, look like they talk about this DIODE (volt reg) in this auction ?

if you will install DIODE (its one way) tou will not charger this correct. Charger will not detect battery - only balancer. Total voltage will be not awailable

The TX Lipo I just bought came with JR, Futaba, and JST connectors on it.
I figure I can put the diodes in the JR lead, use the Futaba or JST lead for charging / voltage checking. (it's in my DX7 right now, might put it in my 8103)
Right now I have no diodes in it, but I stopped the LiPo charge at 12.0 V when I charged it, rather than going to the full 12.6V. Yeah, the capacity might be a little less, but it helps keep a little heat out of the internal radio voltage regulators.
In a linear voltage regulator (non-switching) all of the excess voltage gets turned into heat in the regulator. Keeping the voltage down a volt or two just helps keep things from getting too warm.
