| Lipo for leds
I want to buy a small 2 cell lipo to run all my lights on my G6. I use gens ace but I'm just wondering what a good size one will be to run my lights that won't go dead after a few runs. I plan on just plugging a lipo alarm into it. Thanks.

Without knowing what you have for lights, its not possible to give you a recommendation on what battery to use. Unless you are running high amp lights you are probably better off just running a single battery and powering the lights off the RX.

I'm running a 3 cell and I have the axial nvs that has to run on 2 cell. I have 9 leds on my rig.

With a separate battery you may end up having to connect the black wires together to prevent strange issues with the NVS. I am not a real fan of the NVS, I use the lighting controllers from HeyOk. HeyOK's RC Electronics items (all in one place) | |

The instructions say not to go over 2s lipo so I'm assuming that I can just run it off my reciever since I have a bec set at 6 volts. Correct?

I don't have any turn signals or anything hooked up. Just front and rear lights and roof light bar. So none are turning off and on. But I guess I'll just try it and see what happens.

I tested my light setup runtime the other day. I have 3 2" led strips with 3 12v led in each. it ran for 3 hours 35 minutes with a 450mah 3s gens ace battery. at that point the individual cells were about 3.6v on average. it very well may have ran longer
