A123 batteries and EQ6
Hi Guys
Well i have an EQ 6 with turbo reg' for my new bird and two 2600 A123's for it as well. Now my question is if i can conect my A123 batteries to my EQ 6 through the turbo reg'? Thanks, Adi |

Re: A123 batteries and EQ6
Yes, but the problem is that the reg is part of the power expander, is there a way maybe to bypass the reg', because now the batteries are going to the reg'.
Thanks, Adi |

There is no way to bypass the regulator.

Re: A123 batteries and EQ6
What do you mean by extreme over kill? do you think that the servos wont get the proper voltage and amps because of that?
What is the Voltage that the reg' is droping the batteries to? Sprry for all these questions, i just want to be sure. Thanks, Adi |

Re: A123 batteries and EQ6
Ok maybe a slight misuse of words. What I mean is that your are wasting your voltage reg on the EQ6 for batteries that do not need a voltage reg. I believe the voltage reg on your EQ6 takes the volts down to 6 for the servos and provides 5 to your receiver. Really in the long run it should not matter, just know that you can run those batteries without a reg.

Re: A123 batteries and EQ6
You'll be fine with the EQ6. Just turn the reg up so it is not really "regulating" the voltage. The more voltage the regulator has to remove, the more heat it has to disperse. If it isn't "regulating" the voltage down, you really won't be working the regulator that hard.
I'd rather run an EQ6 over matchboxes too!! |

Re: A123 batteries and EQ6
Sounds good with the Smart Fly i will try to adjust the reg' the thing with the bypassing will be too rough with it, no?
