Help with Giant receiver batteries
Posted: Mon May 20, 2013 6:10 am
Hi! I am building a Great planes extra 330s 27%.It is my 1st Giant! I will use a CRRC Pro GF50i, futaba R617 receiver, and 7 Spectrum A6010 digital servos.
Spectrum A6010 Technical details
Control: digital
Ball bearings: 2
Input voltage: 4,8-6,0 Volt
Torque 4,8 V approx: 62 Ncm
Speed 4,8 V approx: 0,19 Sek/60°
Torque 6 V approx: 72 Ncm
Speed 6 V approx: 0,14 Sek/60°
So, what I need help with, is what kind of receiver battery should I use to be able to fly 3D...hover and staff...
(1)I already know that NiMH are not good enough for my appplication. Is a pair of LiFe (A123.....is it the same?) batteries the best choice? Or a pair of LiPo?
(2) How shall I connnect them to the receiver and servos? Will I need a regulator like with Lipos, a special switch or just a heavy duty switch and a Y cable? I know that powerbox sensor is a good choice which uses in parallel both batteries and regulates the voltage at the same time, but is a little expensive...Are there any other options?
(3) How risky is it to use just this one and what switch should I use with it?
