[NSRCA-discussion] voltage regulator

[Ed Alt]

Forgot to mention, if you're a Spektrum flyer, you can use the charge connection on the Tech-Aero regulator to either set up for binding without opening up the model, or plugging in the Spektrum data monitor for a reading.  Since I use dual batteries / dual regulators, I have both.  
 
Some quick rating info:
 
5A max current
0.2V max dropout 
 
Use them with LiPo, LiIon, NiCad, NiMH, A123.

Emory,
 With adjustable regulators, you can set things up to work either way. Read this:

A dual-regulator + battery system gives you added piece of mind with almost no weight penalty (if you choose the batteries correctly).

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 -------------- Original message from jzeigenfus at comcast.net: -------------- 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-------------- Original message -------------- From: "John Pavlick" 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. :)John PavlickBTW - Tech Aero products are assembled entirely in the USA.----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Alt To: General pattern discussion Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 11:08 PMSubject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] voltage regulatorJerry: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.Ed> From: jcwilsonjr at comcast.net> To: nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org> Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:26:20 -0500> Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] voltage regulator> > Which voltage regulator (Jaccio) shou ld be used with a 5 cell 6 volt> receiver pack?
