Hi Stu,
The Eq6 is not the ideal unit to use with A123s because of the regulator but you can use them. You have to remember the BatShare that is built into the unit will drop 0.4V between the battery input and the regulator. You can set the regulator output to 6.0V and it will regulate as long as the batteries are above 6.6V. If they drop below that you will get a drop in the servo voltage but the regulator will still be working, it will not shut off. Also, if this is a 150cc size plane you have to use the Eq6 Turbo. Don't use the standard Eq6 on a 150cc plane. Let me know if you have any other questions.
