Lipo or A123 for HV servos

[stevekremer]

I have been running my spoilers on A123 - 6.6 volts, so far no issues.

Steve, I was too and then they "crapped"out. Not sure it was voltage or something else. I actually removed the electronics and connected a servo and pushrods like standard spoilers in the current Blanik. I'm going to try the voltage regulator method on this one.

Maybe I better go that route

steve that would be safer, a landing with one spoiler out is no fun

Thanks for all your replies, after all this, I have ordered a couple Jeti Lithium Ion 5200 Batteries. They are similar price to the 4000 Horizon packs, but not on back order. I have chargers that will charge these cells. I,think 5 bucks more for 1200 mah. Not sure if I will use two in the Blanik or one... And the other one in my Thermick XL 4 meter... Or I'll just order another one
