5.3V - Is that pushing my luck with this?

Post by troynh »

So, would 5.3V's be pushing my luck with this? I'd love to use a 2s lipo hooked to a 5V UBEC but don't want to prematurely burn this unit up.

Thanks in advance.

5.3 is fine - 5.5 is the stated limit of the chip, 6v is the real max

I'm still waiting for it in the mail....
