I was reading up on LiPO batteries for AM and came across this statement in their manual:
Spark Fun sells batteries that have a matching connector with the correct polarity. However, these batteries include an integrated current limiting circuit. That circuit will cause the battery to shut down when firing the igniter circuit. Do not use these batteries unless you remove the current limiting circuit.
I just happen to have Spark Fun's 400 mAh LiPOs and visually I can tell they have the limiting circuit board on them. Does this mean I can't use these batteries? Do I have to remove the circuit board for them to work? And lastly, WHY does this circuit cause the battery to shut down as above?
