I don't have one on mine and haven't noticed any issues. There is one that came installed on my ESC.

Quick question:
Does anyone know if this BEC can be powered by a 2S Lipo? I see from its spec sheet the input voltage is 11v-44v. So 3s battery is listed as minimum. I would like to run it off a 2500mah 2S lipo and regulate down to 6v. Anyone know if this is possible or have a similar setup? thanks.

Input voltage is 11-75 volts, 3 to 18 cell lipo. Capable of running off your flight packs (for electric) so no extra battery needed. If you have a nitro and want to run a 2s lipo I've never heard of anybody trying that. (GSR-7075-LMT)

I guess what i'm trying to figure out is, will this BEC run and regulate off a 2S lipo. Or will it not even turn on, given that its listed input voltage is 11.1v?
Do you have one of these BEC's maybe? Would you mind hooking up a 2S lipo to it and seeing what happens? I wouldn't think anything bad would occur from that.

Even if it were to power on, there would be no guarantee that it would operate properly during flight. I could hook up a 2S to it to see if it powers on but I would much rather you invested in a 3S lipo for $20 bucks. There is nothing you can do if the BEC decides to shut itself off during flight. A scorpion guard perhaps, but it's only a failsafe to give you enough juice to land if you should notice somethings not right.
Edit: I'm pretty sure they make a voltage regulator for running off a 2S lipo, you should look into that before trying to run this BEC off of a 2S...

Looks like a lot of failures here, am i better off using a life battery skipping on a regulator to power my heli ?

I have been running straight from a 2S since Gryphon broke last year.

the 7075 manual saysn Connect a compatible switch (GSB-1010x or GSB-1030x) if you are using one on the “switch” connector. Do not use these Switches / Low voltage Board on other equipment than genuine GRYPHON products
Do i have to use a switch, my gryphon does not have one, can i use any switch or can i leave out the switch ? |

Don't need a switch for start-up. Just make sure you have the proper TH
and/or TC set-up on you your radio. I also, have been running mine with a Optiguard backup. set at 7.4 volts.I am still on the fence in regards to straight 2S battery but do use one on my 600EFL Pro

Sorry for my lack of insight on this, i have never used an external bec before, could you explain a bit more perhaps:
"Don't need a switch for start-up. Just make sure you have the proper TH and/or TC set-up on you your radio" throttle hold throttle curve ? how do i need to set it up ?. |
