Never thought of doing it that way. Thanks, going to try the NC on the 3rd loop next flight.
Thanks... I have not....I have used these batteries for about 8 flights on 3 different altimeters and have had great success so far. I realize they can put out enough to fry the altimeter, but I don't plan to light a motor just pop e matches. The longest I have had one running was over 3 hours- beeping altitude for the majority of that time - and had barely dropped the voltage below the labels nominal rating of 7.4V (lower than actual nominal voltage of over 8V@ full charge).
I just did a test using a 1.5ohm e match and this battery. using a current probe and oscilloscope I got a max current of 6.25 amps for less than a millisecond. it does go over the 5A rating but not by much and not for long.
