36 Installation Notes
are more susceptible to mechanical stress and damage
due to their lack of a metal case. Moreover LiPo batter-
ies only have a limited ability to be fast-charged, and
generally do not survive such a high number of charge
/ discharge cycles as is claimed for other batteries,
such as Nanophosphate® types. The comparatively
high nominal voltage of 7.4 Volt of a two-cell LiPo pack
presents no problems to
Graupner HoTT receivers, nor
to those servos, speed controllers, gyros, etc. which are
expressly approved for use at these higher voltages.
Please note, however, that virtually all servos, speed
controllers, gyros etc. sold in the past, and also
most of those currently available, are only approved
for use on an operating voltage in the range 4.8 to 6
Volt.
If you wish to connect these devices to the re-
ceiver, it is essential to use a stabilised regulated power
supply, such as the PRX, Order No.
4136 ; see Appendix.
If you neglect this, there is a danger that the connected
devices will quickly suffer permanent damage.
