DSX9 and Lipo

[Jayway]

Hi
Is anyone running a FP Lipo in their DSX9? The manual says not to use them, but I have on and would prefer to run the Lipo.
Thanks Jay

Do a search. It voids your warranty, and JR says it can damage your Tx.

Your choice.

I just cant understand why every one wants to risk their Voltage Regulator in such an expensive radio!
I am using 2500ma Nicads and can fly several times a week and use the sim, and not charge for 2 weeks, still dont need to then, but just do it.

You can go to a Radio shack or a hobby store, and get a 8 cell holder, they fit just fine, all you have to do is solder your connector on the leads and put your favorite brand of batteries in, and away you go. All fits nicely and no risk of voiding warrenties or damaging your radio.

I do have a JR with a lipo and a LDO parallel regulator. You can damage your radio if the voltage exceed the maximum allowable. Other than that the only concern of the manufacturer is that "one" could either connect the wrong polarity or the wrong voltage.

I prefer lipo as they don't discharge as their NiMH counterparts and because the lesser weight.

Each one is entitled to its opinion.

Happy flying.

Just run 2 diodes in series in the + wire and its all good

That's what I did last night! I added two 1N4001 diodes in the battery lead and now a fully charged LiPo pack registers 10.9V on the transmitter's display (an X9303 in my case)!
