What voltage do you let them get down to before no go?<br>My 30 year old SO (Ye Olde ESV) ranges just miss that middle ground. I've got a voltmeter--but it's not loaded. On a 1200 pack(still lighter than 4 nicads WITH reg.) on four flights, the drop was from 8.4 down to 8.25V. I'm going to a 780 on another airplane and my understanding guys are getting up to 7-8 flights on that size pack. But how do you check them?<br> <br>Thanks,<br> <br>Richard<br><br><hr>See what people are saying about Windows Live.
