Hello People,

Questions

1. Q) Can the Hypersonic Turbo be used with other brand batteries?

1. A) We do not reccoemend that the Hypersonic Turbo be used with other batteries. The reason is because our packs are capable of very high discharge amperages (70A continuous on the 2300) with no problem. This is how we are able to make the boost work. As you increase your desired output voltage the Turbo Module draws more amperage out of the pack to acomodate. IF you were to try this with a typical battery it is possible that you could severely damage the pack.

keep the questions rolling,

Power . Safety . Life

Brian
