Micro & Mini Air Pump Voltage Requirement clarification.

[QuarterMaster]

Bob, Dave, Ghost of Rickover, whomever....

A tad confused regarding the voltage requirements on both the Micro & Mini air pumps....

Understand it's all about range, but I still don't want to "cook" anything.

Starting with the Micro...

• Rated Voltage DC 6V

I take it it will run fine with a fully charged 2CS (8.4V eventually dropping to 6V) without a voltage drop diode?
I thought I saw a resistor on one unit I had.

The Mini...

Online you state:

• Rated Voltage DC3-7.2V

The label in the photo list's 12V. I'm taking it will be fine in a 12V system (Nom 12.6V underway)

Eddie wants to build!

The small one will be happy all day at 8-volts or lower. Those used with 11.1-volt systems have a voltage dropping resister (not a diode). Those pumps used in SD's intended to employ 7.4-volt are used neat.

The big ones are fine for 11.1-volt systems.

No problem, Ed. Measure twice, cut once.
