[QUOTE="bicter, post: 494812, member: 1240"] If the Detector can only handle an absolute maximum of 7.4V your proposed solution will probably kill the detector. A fully charged 7.4V LiPo starts at about 8.0V or more dependent on the battery. What is needed is a regulator to ensure that the voltage can't exceed 7.4V. This can be either a step up or step down type. To choose the regulator, you will need to know the maximum current draw of the detector. The regulator can be either a switched mode or linear. My preference would be for a Linear regulator so as to minimize the introduction of noise into the detector, however for a linear regulator, the input voltage must be higher than the O/P voltage.
