That says it all. You can throw those power boxes out the door boys!!!! Don't need any Fromeco D-Cup with this either. It is the solution done right.

Wonder if you need regulators. Says 6-10 volts.

I thought 8611A's and the 8711 could handle higher voltages than Hitecs. I have heard of guys running them straight off lions with no regs. Just wondering.

I know someone who is using it with 8711's and no regulators with great results. Everything is done for you, just plug your batteries into it and you have a redundant setup.

Damn, right after I bought a new AR9000. That's an awesome setup, exactly what we've been needing.

Someone already answered your question. I have been using those batteries in my H9 260 with GREAT success - no regs needed, as they stabilize at 3.3V per cell. The nice thing is that they maintain a VERY stable voltage throughout their entire useful capacity, which is about 2,000mah. I will never run li-ions or lipos for rx power ever again, period!
