voltage regulators with Li-Ion packs

[JOddino]

Hey Dave,
Are you charging two at a time plugged into one receiver (common ground for the packs being  charged) with the Schulze?  Some of the jet guys are having trouble with this.  I'm guessing the charger ground is not common to the battery being charged ground.  Can you check it with an ohmmeter?

One caution, with Lithiums and high current you may need a heat sink.  Work to get the current down first.

  Hi Ed..I am using 2 of the Jaccio regulators with the perfect switch set at 5.1v and the NMP 2000mah Li-Ion battery.

  Of course, they both work nicely and they solve several problems at the same time.

  I use the Schulze ISL 6-330 charger/discharger with the battery because it works with all types of batteries, however,

  the NMP charger is probably foolproof and low cost as well. 

   

  Highly recommended.

  Just looking for feedback on available regulators (Smart Switch etc) that are rated to work with 2 cell Li-Ion battery packs.  Outputs in the range of 5.2 to 6V will work for me.

  Thanks
