Re: Ingnition battery for CRRC 26i w. Rexel CDI?
a 4.8 battery pack will do just fine.i would go with a high capacity for longer flight times.i would get a pack at about 2500 ma.we have a guy in our club that uses a single cell lipo battery with no problems whatso ever.i have the same ignition you have on my zdz80 and on the module it say input voltage 4.8- 6.0 volts.you should be able to get at least five flights.you should always check your battery voltage before every flight just to be on the safe side.hope this helps.

Re: Ingnition battery for CRRC 26i w. Rexel CDI?
Rather than a few grams of weight savings, why would you want to go with an expensive Lipo and have to use a regulator? Just asking as I would really like to know!
I have used a 4.8v 2700 mAH NiMH on a 50cc gasser and gotten at least 5 flights no problem. Then if necessary, its only about a 15 minute top up with a standard field charger and away I go again! I would really like to know the advantage of using a Lipo and regulator! Thanks!

Re: Ingnition battery for CRRC 26i w. Rexel CDI?
I have the 45 version of this engine and using a 4.8 / 1100 mah nicad battery I get 7 - 8 flights. I'm now using the ignition on my Taurus 52 ( the C & H crapped out twice ) and still get 7 - 8 flights no problem and these are 10 - 12 min. flights actual flying time. I have tested the battery a few times after getting home and I average 350 mah left when I do.

I'm running a 2700 NiMH battery on my RCExel ignition. My ignition draws 85Mah per flight!
You do the math, weekends are short

Re: Ingnition battery for CRRC 26i w. Rexel CDI?
How about 1500 ma LiIon cells. 4.2 volts fully charged.
Charge with a lipo charger. A 2s 2p pack gives you 3000 ma. $5.00 each cell plus shipping. |

Re: Ingnition battery for CRRC 26i w. Rexel CDI?
Some guys are useing two A123 batts. without a regulator. Charging after every flight or two, depending on how much they put back in after a charge which takes 10 to 15 mins.
