I, like Ron VP, have had electronics training, both analog and
digital. As a fellow Tennessean, your analysis makes perfect sense to
me. However, I doubt a 'Gator can grasp the nuances of your expert
opinion of the situation -- same for the Gamecocks ('Cocks???
roflmao). Anyone in a state that would hire Steve Superior to coach
football is certainly suspect. LOLs<br>

<div> If you've been doing a lot of flying in the winter months,
humidity can build<span class="Apple-style-span" style=""> up inside
the DIP packages of some Chinese made electronics and affect the
silicon. The fix is to remove the device each night from your plane
and seal it inside an airtight container filled with either dry rice or
desiccant beads to remove the humidity from the DIP package that
protects the silicon components. You only need to do this October thru

Did you use the same input plug for both lipos? If so, all I can say is
that it only costs $14. If not, there may be some frontend circuitry in
there that somehow establishes a secondary and a primary battery input
to the single regulator.<br>

When I did the test, only one lipo at a time was hooked up to the
separate switch/regulator inputs. The output voltages were different,
which I attributed to tolerances in two regulators within the device.
If there really is only one regulator in the switch/regulator, I
cannot understand why there's a difference in output voltages. <br>

Ed is saying the single regulator dual outputs are not independent as
they would be if you used two tech-aero or jaccio regulators.<br>
Sounds like a good system to have on a smaller cheaper aircraft than
our 2 meter pattern planes. Gives you redundant batteries but not
redundant power systems. You are now reliant on a single point of
failure 14 dollar regulator. <br>

I wonder why I measure different voltages when I switch on the two 2S
lipo batteries at different times. If it had a single regulator, I
would think the output voltage would be the same, no matter which
battery was chosen.

- It is a dual regulator/switch which allows you to hook up two lipo
batteries and have them separately regulated to 5.9 volts and use one
or both of the outputs. Look here:
