any merit in running dual battery packs ?

[J.Oddino]

You should have no problems if you're running five or six digital servos.  Make sure none are stalled.  Just plug it in and you're in business.  If you have the Perfect switch Harness version unplug the battery if you aren't going to use it for a month or more as there is a very low level of current being drawn in the off state. If you have a real high current consumption you might need a heat sink but I have never seen the need for one in a pattern plane.

  Hi Jim,

  Many thanks. I have the Jaccio already. I use it in conjunction with a 5 cell Nicad. Can I just connect it to a Li-Ion battery or are there prior readjustments to be made? TIA

    Hi Urs,
    I like the 18650 cells that are in the 2000 to 2400 mAh range now.  These are the cylindrical cells with metal cans like Central Hobbies sells.  I believe they are more rugged than the Li-Poly cells and one doesn't need to worry about taking them out of the plane to charge.  I use the Jaccio Perfect Switch Harness but I'm biased because I make them.
    Regards, Jim
