Recommended 2S LiPo Choices for Zeus 45NT Electronics
For the Zeus 45NT’s onboard systems—brakes, servos, gyro, and LED lighting—a lightweight high-C 2S pack helps minimize voltage sag during rapid control inputs and braking events. A proven choice is the CNHL G+Plus 2200mAh 2S 70C XT60, offering quick response and low IR for confident ground handling and precise control feel.
Higher Capacity Option for Longer Runtime & Wider Margin
When you want extra margin for extended taxi, pre-flight checks, and multiple brake cycles, consider a bigger pack such as the CNHL Black Series 3200mAh 2S 30C Shorty XT60. Its higher capacity supports steadier voltage over longer sessions. If your ECU or power distribution specifies a minimum C-rating, confirm compliance before use.
Electronics vs. ECU: Practical Setup Notes
- Electronics rail (2S 7.4V 2200–3200mAh): brakes, servos, gyro, lighting—prioritize low IR and consistent delivery.
- ECU supply (engine dependent): verify acceptable input (often 6.0–7.4V). If using a 2S LiPo directly, ensure the ECU/regulator is rated accordingly; otherwise use a dedicated regulator per engine manufacturer guidance.
- Wiring hygiene: keep ECU lines, filter, and shut-off valve placement per turbine best practices; avoid placing RF components near tanks or pumps.
Pre-Flight Checklist for Zeus 45NT Power
- Confirm pack health (IR, voltage, balance) and connector integrity (XT60).
- Calibrate gyro gains for both high-speed passes and low-speed landing phases.
- Bench-test brakes under repeated cycles to validate voltage stability.
- Log separate charge cycles for electronics and ECU packs for clean diagnostics.
