[NSRCA-discussion] Voltage Regulators re-visit

[Dave]

FWIW..

 

I've been running a variety of JR servos on regulated 6.5 volts (from Tech
Aero Vregs, Castle BEC, and Castle ESCs) for several years now, and haven't
found any issues yet.

Richard, Robert and Mike,

 

The reason for the 5.1 volt value was to replicate a fully charged four cell
NiCd pack.  That was the highest recommended for some servos like the Futaba
9402.  The 5.7 volt value was the highest value one could regulate to with a
five cell pack that was discharged to 5.9 volts.  When the Lithium cells
came out we went to 6.0 volts to get the highest safe operating voltage and
the lowest heat dissipation as stated.  I'm guessing one could go higher
than 6.0 if he was very careful not to load the servo too much for too long
but why take a chance with $100 plus servos.

 

By the way, for all you folks running without regulators, only add one if
you want to improve your flying.  

 

Jim

What output voltage are most running for 2S lipos--particularly for Futaba?
I'm fairly sure the ones I've got are around 5.6.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard
