Hi All,
Im switching over to a standard 9v battery (smoke detector battery) in some of my larger rockets. Up till now I have exclusively used 4V 900 mah Lipo batteries like you can buy from Apogee and others.
Other than using a good quality snap connector are there any other gotchas that could be different from the use of the Lipos?
One that immediately comes to mind it whether it is okay test the drogue and main firing circuits with the same 9V battery you are going to use for a launch? Of course that raises the broader question of using a fresh battery for every launch.
