Power to the unit can be drawn from four different battery types: LiPo, LiIon, LiFePo, NiMH. Ultra-bright RGB LEDs are fitted to indicate battery voltage; they light up in various colours to display the charge status of the batteries. CORE users also benefit from one special additional feature: the battery voltage and regulator voltage can be displayed directly at the transmitter via telemetry!

4. SETTING THE BATTERY DISPLAY It is essential to set the correct battery type to ensure that the LED battery indi- cators work correctly.

5. SETTING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE The PowerBox DigiSwitch V2 can be set to either of two output voltages: 6.0 V for conventional servos, and 7.0 V, 7.6 V or non-regulated for HV servos. If you opt for the higher setting, please ensure that all the components connected to the system are approved for high-voltage use.

6. REGULATOR ERRORS The unit constantly monitors the operation of the voltage regulators. If the output voltage strays outside the correct value, the LEDs indicate this by lighting up violet and flashing rapidly. Regulator errors typically occur when a battery is connected with reversed polarity.
