hi,
i working on a quadcopter-system with Propeller as microcontrollers.
i want make power requirements with a LIPO-Accu
now my question:
1) it's possible to connect the propeller with a
- LIPO-Accu
~ 12.0 VDC and
- ~ 1.0 Ampere Power Output ?

for instructions and tips I would be grateful

    Not without regulating that "12V" down - typically Lipo "12V" are in the 13-14V range, particularly after charge - probably cook things!

    hi paul sr.

    thank you for your answer.

    on my lipo describe with 11.1volt
    i think 12 volts is without loads...

    a another lipo is
    - Lipo accu V-Maxx 3S1P 11.1 Volt / 1000 mA with BEC (5volt for receiver accu) or
    - Lipo accu V-Maxx 2S1P 7.4 Volt / 1000 mA with BEC33

    when i buy the lipo i testing the power - output
    and if output > 12.volt i make a regulator for 12volt
    is this correct?
    thanks for hints
    regards nomad
    in the year 2010 i make this with big lead-Accu with 12 volt and 3700 mA
    the propeller are running with no problem
