AeroGraphix is a Proud Dealer for Fromeco Batteries and Accessories

Fromeco uses LG Chemical Brand Batteries exclusively for our Relion Line of Battery Packs.

Fromeco Batteries are 7.4 VDC Nominal and 8.4 VDC Peak. When making charging considerations, the 7.4 VDC nominal ration is most likely how your charger will indicate a 2 Cell pack. Fromeco offers both a 2600mah 2 cell pack and a 5200mah 4 cell pack. The 2600mah configuration is called 2S1P or 2 series 1 parallel and the 5200mah configuration is called 2S2P or 2 series 2 parallel. Since both packs are a 2S or 2 series, both packs are 7.4 VDC.

Charging Considerations
Fromeco Batteries are fully charged when they reach a VDC of 8.4 VDC. Fromeco does not CONDONE and will not warranty Relion Packs that have been purposefully charged over 8.4 VDC to obtain a higher capacity. Some retailers do condone this with their batteries which are made up of the same LG Chemical cells as Fromeco. They do not fully understand the damage they are causing the cells in doing this. When choosing a charger please ensure it is reated for Lithium Ion or Polymer use and can charge 2 cells in series or 7.4 VDC.

Fromeco recommends against the use of the Duralite Chargers. These chargers have repeatedly show to do harm to batteries that are not equipped with the safety charging circuits.

"The Regulator"

At Fromeco we have designed one of the highest rated, if not the highest rated linear Regulator in the market. Specifically designed to operate at High Delta V, pass high currents and disapate more heat than any of our competitors. Others say they can pass the current but we are the only ones that really can. "The Regulator" is capable of 9 amps current at 25% duty cycle. Whey 25% duty? This is dictated by the heat sink. If we put a larger heat sink on it we can rate it even higher. Why don't we do this? Simple, Weight!

Fromeco Regulators are FULLY ADJUSTABLE. Votage is adjustable from 5.5 VDC to 7.2 VDC. Adjusting the out put Voltage of your new Regulator is easy and can be done a number of ways. First thing you will notice is two (2) pins sticking out of the right side of your new Regulator. These pins are used to adjust the output voltage of your unit. These pins are nothing more than  shorting pins that complete a circuit to go no lower than 5.5 VDC and no higher than 7.2 VDC. Any Conductive metal object such as a screwdriver can be used to adjust the Voltage up or down. Fromeco also sells a Voltage Adjustment unit designed to make this process easier.

IMPORTANT: Regulator should never be hooked directly to the battery pack that you are intending to regulate. A Switch should always be installed between the battery pack (Relions) and the Regulator.

BATTERY ---> <---SWITCH---> <---REGULATOR---> <---RX OR IGNITION

If your battery installation requires regulator installation and you don't want to use the Fromeco Reliaswitches, then are regulators are the perfect replacement.

The Arizona Heli Regulator

The Arizona Heli Regulator is specifically designed with RC helicopters in mind. It can handle very high currents, in very demanding environments. It has two separate voltage outputs: 5V for the gyro, and an adjustable 5 to 6.00V for the receiver…allowing better responsiveness for the digital servos not associated with the gyro system. It also can act as a solid state switch, eliminating a mechanical switch in the power path. The solid state switching uses a 'pin and flag' system, so there are no moving parts in flight.
Pinflag system is pictured at the top of this page.

Plugs

Arizona Regulators have five leads total, an Input "Blue", a Charge Lead "Black", a Switch Lead* "Neon Yellow", a Gyro Lead "Green For Gyro", a Rudder Lead "Red for Rudder".  Of Course Fromeco knows there is no "Gyro Lead" and no "Rudder Lead". Green is Gain, and Red is for the Tail Rotor Servo. We just call them that to make things easy to remember.

*The Pin Flag switch has a matching Neon Yellow Female jack. A normal "Off the Shelf" type switch will not work in place of our Pin Flag switch unless certain modifications are made.
