Couple questions

[grayfox126]

First question: My regulator is getting a bit hot, not enough to turn off the screen like in hailrazer's case, although, I do fear that, it may get even hotter once I place everything in the case. I added a heat sink, but it only helped a little bit. So, should this regulator have its own small fan or will it be okay? And if a fan is needed, what would you recommend?

Second Question: Do the Li-Po/Li-ion batteries with pcbs in the packs have to have another PCB if they are all connected in a series? And if I use a single Pack with an internal pcb do I need an external one? In addition would this be the right way to hook up the batteries without the internals?



I just dont want to ruin my progress or catch on fire lol. Help pls

Thanks in advance

what kind of regulator? they only shut off if they get REALLY hot. trust me, with a heatsink, nothing is gonna shut off.

It's an 8v regulator. And what about the batteries?

Yes that is the right way with an external pcb.
