maximum battery voltage?

Post by coyoinu »

so i finally got sick of replacing the batteries all the time, i'm planning on mounting some li-poly batteries to the boards, and in my searches on the internet, it looks like RC helicopter batteries are relatively cheap, but the most cost effective batteries are 7.4v 2200 mAh. Can the board handle that if i was to plug that in directly to j1, or is 7 volts too much?

much too much! you can use a single lipo but you MUST get one with a protection circuit, many RC batteries do not!
