[NSRCA-discussion] Pro Driver Battery Replacement

[rick]

Since this isn't a flight-critical application, I just took an old flight
pack battery - 1400 maH 5 cell that I don't trust in the air anymore, cycled
it and stripped the weak cell out, and soldered the resulting 4-cell pack
into the glow driver. Works fine. I'm told it'll also take a 5 cell Ni-Cd
just fine, but haven't tried it. 

 

Seems to be working fine after a couple of months - cost = $0.00

Thanks for all the tips. I think I am going to check out Battery Space and
put in the largest capacity NiMh cell it will take as per RVP. I only have
one Lipo in a foamy so to keep the support equipment to a minimum I think I
will stick to NiCd or NiMh.

I replaced mine with NiMH but you could probably find a Lipo pack from a
foamy that would fit. 

 

I have some LM317 variable voltage regulators that would work for you. All
that is needed are a couple resistors and some solder, all of which I have.

I'm in the same boat. I really don't like NiMHs much anymore....I'd really
like a lipo on a regulator, but not sure how it would fit or work...

It seems to be time to replace the battery in my Pro Driver 2 glow plug
lighter. What batteries fit? Should I use NiCd or NiMh? Is there a source
that knows what I need?

TIA Dowayne
