I currently have the ProTek regulator for my LiPo battery but even when I shut off the power via the power switch, the little green light on the regulator stays on. I wouldn't care much if it didn't kill my battery. Is there a switch i can use that completely blocks power from the battery?

rewire the batt power thru the switch first, then from there to the reg, and then regulator to the reciever. The switch takes a beating from the hot load straight from the Lipo pack, so change it out often. If you already have it wired like that, then I would say the swich is cooked and its feeding back or not cutting the power off.


I use the Airtronics switches with the charge lead. Kendall at A-main says he uses the JR switch and it works good to.

I don't think I have it wired that way, i'll have to check. I have the JR switch also but I don't use the one with the charging lead because I use the temperature guage for the lipo battery so I take it out anyway.

The directions for that battery and regulator say to unplug the battery and not to just switch it off.

I dont run a switch at all and just plug the 2 ends direct since its more secure and less chance of a failure.

I'm fine with that at the end of the day, but doing that in between every race was annoying. With that regulator drawing power the whole time, I would be dead before the mains.
