<br>
On a typical flight, I'm guessing the radio only uses around
100-150Mah of power, while the motor is using 4000Mah, so that's about
4% more
draw on those two cells. In practice, I haven't been able to see any
difference in the radio cells when I hook them up to my charger at the
end of a
flight. Sometimes cells #1 & #2 are the high cells after a flight,
so
I think the power draw of the radio is negligible to our motor packs.<br>
<br>
The problem with two regulators plugged into the same 10S (or 5S) pack
is that
you are creating a dead short between the cells thru the ground wires
(typically a straight wire thru the regulator). <br>
<br>
Say you plug Regulator #1 into cells #1&2, and Regulator #2 into
cells
#6&7. The regulator's <b><i><span
style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">ground </span></i></b>wires
now have 5 cells of voltage potential (5 X
4.2V = 21Volts) between them since they are plugged into cells # 1 and
#6. When those two ground wires are then plugged into your receiver
either thru a switch or direct connection the magic smoke will escape
and your
retailer will rejoice.<br>
<br>
Also, if you have both of your regulators plugged into your motor pack
and the
packs eject like Goose in Top Gun, you've lost both of your redundant
power
sources. However, if you use a tiny 2S LiPo that is physically
separated
and secured inside your plane, you have both electrical and physical
redundancy. <br>
<br>
Hmmm, just thought of something . . . maybe we should tie down the
receiver so
the main regulator can't take the receiver out with it. . . so many
contingencies, so little weight . . .<br clear="all">

great idea but I have two questions. Do the packs come down out of
balance
since two cells are serving extra load? Is there a problem
with parallel operation of two regulators?<br>

<br>
I've been using this setup for sometime and it is working great. I
have
my two cell LiPo charged to 7.5 volts and it is connected to a 6.0 volt
regulator into the receiver. The cable connected to the balance
connector
on the "bottom" 5S is connected to a 6.3 volt regulator so it
supplies all the current to the system and the 2S pack never needs
charging..
I'm using an 800 mAh pack but it could be even smaller. </span></font><font

Chris Moon just e-mailed me about some leads that were done at the
factory. These leads run off your balance leads to a voltage regulator
and allow your main battery pack to be utilized as a redundant receiver
battery. It is NOT meant to be a primary but it will save 20+ grams if
you're running 2 rx batteries. You still have to run the 2nd regulator
for true redundancy but you eliminate the 2nd battery. These leads are
factory made and eliminate the need to make them yourself with the
concern
about plugging in to the wrong cell. I know in my article, I was
pretty
much against doing this as a backup but, with Chris having this made at
the
factory, he has all but eliminated making a mistake by tying to the
wrong
cell. I have the link that I'll e-mail you off-list or you can just go
to
his website. I don't want to break the NSRCA list rules by advertising
for him even though he advertises with the NSRCA. The leads are only
$3.99 each and are found under the Connectors/Adapters listing.<br>
<br>
Thank,<br>
Scott<br clear="all">
