Suppliers Comments
LiPo batteries are quickly becoming the number one power source for gas airplanes. As such, the need for on-board voltage regulation is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Be advised, the output of a fully charged 2 cell series lithium polymer battery is 8.4V. Currently there are no servos on the market that can operate at this high voltage. The use of these packs requires a voltage regulator. For sport models, consider the new SPORT VRLI. This unit can handle up to 2A continuous current draw. It can handle sport models running up to 5 standard to medium torque servos and includes 3 super-bright LED voltage indicators (green, yellow, and red) to help prevent deep discharge of Lithium battery packs. The SPORT VRLI goes between your switch harness and your receiver. It includes a low droput (0.5V) regulator which will provide a constant 5V output to your receiver/servos. It continuously measures the battery pack voltage and provides you a clear warning of battery condition. A fully charged battery pack in good condition will show green. As the pack becomes discharged, or when the pack is under load, the yellow and red LED's may light. When the yellow LED stays on and the unit won't recover to green, it's time to recharge the battery. The SPORT VRLI is also a great tool for identifying power problems such as an under-rated or failing battery pack or sticky linkages. Simple, effective and necessary to protect your LiPo pack from deep discharge, the SPORT VRLI is the perfect match for your LiPo powered on-board electronics in trainers and sport models. The SPORT VRLI is not recommended for aircraft installations using digital or high torque standard servos.
