Corona DS843mg ( will it run, live, at a voltage level from a 2 cell LiFe battery)

[Konrad]

I'm looking to learn if the Corona DS843mg can be run on a 2 cell LiFe battery. I've used them at 5.1 v. I now want to use them in a simple 2 channel hand launch. The issue is that the spec's rate the Corona DS843mg at 6v. The nominal voltage of the 2 cell LiFe is 6.6v with the fully charged voltage is 7.4v. So the question is will the servo amp stand up to a 2 cell LiFe.

All the best,
Konrad

Doubt they can stand much over the rated 6v.

One of these may help.

Ah, that might work! Now to find a vendor I can work with.

Actually looks real good.

Micro 2-8S BEC - 5V/12V Output

The iFlight Micro BEC features step-down switch mode, high-efficiency synchronous rectification, and the ability to step down from an input voltage of up to 36V to a low output stable voltage, which makes it ideal for step-down voltage applications.

Better yet as it comes with some of the connectors

Bench test will tell you many great things..

At the cost of a fried amp. I'm not one that wants to reinvent the wheel. I'm happy to learn from other's mistakes!

Come on, all the cool kidz are doing it.. You know you want to smoke some servos..

Smoked two joints in the morning, smoked two...

I smoked 4 bluebird servos on 2S lipo power when I thought they were wide volt able. The funeral was attended by nobody.

Glenn I think you meant to say:
