[NSRCA-discussion] voltage regulator

[Pascoe,Tim [Burlington]]

The Tech-Aero web site has a good 'Tips' document on the different
redundant setups, and how they work.

When you run two packs, does current drain from both at the same time,
or just take off from one. Is there a primary and a secondary? So far, I
have been just using one 700-800 mah battery in my electrics and it has
done well, but redundancy seems like a good idea. I'm glad the Tech Aero
website popped up because I was thinking about getting a couple of their
regulators, but couldn't remember who it was.

 

Thanks,

Emory

	I'm running the Tech Aero regulators at 6.0V with two 480
Thunder power batteries with no issues and works great. I have an
electric set up so without the vibration the 480's last at least 8
flights before recharging. Highly recommend the regulators. Light and
bullet proof. JEZ

		I'm running a pair of Tech Aero adjustable regulators
set at 6.0V drawing power from a pair of Thunder Power 730mAh 2S LiPos
(redundant system). I have all Futaba gear (including servos). Works
great. Lasts long time. You try, you like. :)

		BTW - Tech Aero products are assembled entirely in the
USA.

			You might want to take a look at
http://www.tech-aero.net/  
			 
			It's a family of programmable, failsafe switch
regulators.  They can be factory set or programmed yourself from 5.75 to
6.65V, or by request, a different voltage range (higher or lower can be
built).  Whatever range you have, it is self programmable with 32
separate steps within the 0.9V adjustment range.  The programmer is
available on the website, or you can just use a digital voltmeter and a
spare servo extension to set the voltage without buying the programmer.
Very easy!  If interested, I can explain how to program it with a scrap
servo extension.
