= Info =

The '''!LipoSaver''' is used for lipo monitoring for 3 or 4-cell lipos.

The lipo can be connected either directly or via balancer input. 
<<BR>><<BR>>


'''INFO:''' <<BR>>
If a connected consumer requires too high inrush current, the !LipoSaver can switch off the output directly due to the temporarily low voltage !

<<BR>><<BR>>

On the !LipoSaver is a diode as reverse polarity protection. With this diode the max. Current drain is limited to ~1A.
<<BR>><<BR>>

If you remove this diode and replace it with a solder bridge, a max. Current consumption up to 5A can be used.

'''BUT BEWARE:''' This eliminates the reverse polarity protection!
