HB-25 max voltage

The HB-25 product info states the max voltage for the HB-25 at 16VDC.
I'm wondering if·the HB-25 can be used with a 4S lipo.·Although a 4S lipo is rated at 14.8V, when fully charged, they reach 16.8V. Will exceeding the 16V max voltage by 0.8V be enough to damage the HB-25?

Thanks!

    Dennis,

    I will answer this by saying that we have not tested or rated the HB-25 for more than 16V, so you would be doing this at your own risk if you did. It may work, however if damage occurred it would not be covered by warranty.

    Thank you for the reply, Chris.
    I will try running my bot on 3S lipo forst. If I find the speed to be too slow, I will use 4S lipo, but will only charge the lipo to 16.0V.

    Thanks again,
