AVL 58 Tx on 4S lipo

[Kenneth Fuglholt]

Hi there

i have a F450, with AVL 58 TX / Rx FPV set, gopro 3 Black Edition, running 10*5 graupner, wiht home made raised legs, and stock Dji motors.
normally i flew with 3S, flight time 12-14 min. on 4000Mah packs.

but now i am upgrading to 9*5 Graupner and 4S 5000Mah packs. for more power and just to try it out.
i have the Tx weired directly to the +/- on the buttom plate meaning it gets about 12 volts when i fly with 3S.

but now i change to 4S will it be able to handle current from the 4S. taht is about 14.8-16,5 Volts. ??

what are you doing to power the Tx, i dont wanna carry an extra small 3S lipo to ppower the Tx.

if you read on DJI Specs sheet for the AVL 58 sheet, it says :
Supply voltage 3S-6S

here is the link to it :

Hope for quick help from you guys.

I had it running on 4S without problems. I use iOSD power now, but it works fine with 4s.

Best.

Does the RX on the ground also operate on a 4S ok? I can't tell if the instructions differentiate from the TX. Most instructions say to use 3S for RX but I'd really like to use a spare 4S battery.

If you have tried it and it works, please let me know. Thanks!!
