    Using a 3S LiPo
    Hey gang.  SBrick max voltage spec says 11.8V.  This would be ideal for a 3S Lipo (11.1V) with the exception that cells typically run > 12V fully charged.  Anyone come up with a way to use a 3S by limiting the max voltage when charged?...  moreHey gang.  SBrick max voltage spec says 11.8V.  This would be ideal for a 3S Lipo (11.1V) with the exception that cells typically run > 12V fully charged.  Anyone come up with a way to use a 3S by limiting the max voltage when charged?  I know I could throw some sort of regulator on there, but don't what to throw it away as heat and inefficiency, and it's not needed when the cells fall to acceptable voltage (~11.1V).  I suppose Is there a such a thing as a switching regulator circuit that works when the voltage is above say ~11.5V and then auto bypasses when it goes below that? Or is that wishful thinking?  less
