A simple Circuit using 2X lm3914, a cheap transistor and a relay... and a few other bits. you can set the max charge voltage with a small preset potentiometer, when the set voltage has been reached the lm3914 Lights LED 18 (the first red one) and also sends a small base current to the transistor, which then powers the relay coil and turns the ZVS off. when the voltage drops below the set voltage or the capacitor is discharged the power to the relay coil stops and the charging begins again automatically :-D.The transformer is a core stripped from a flyback transformer, with a hand-wound primary and secondary, approx 4.5+4.5 primary turns and roughly 100 turns on the secondary) oh... and before anyone says anything.... (the ZVS is on the Normally Closed contact on the relay) the whole unit/ module/ circuit draws between 3-6A @ 12VDC. Thanks for watching!

Yes, you could just install the 3s lipo and run your x9303. However the voltage will be about 1.5 volts higher than the stock setup (fully charged) and you run the risk of over heating the internal voltage regulator and having the transmitter shut down unexpectantly. (wow would that suck!) To solve this problem, I copied what others have done, I installed two diodes in series with the battery. Each diode drops 0.7 volts, for a total battery voltage reduction of 1.4v. End result is a fully charge lipo @ 12.6 volts appears to the transmitter as as 11.2 volts. This is equivalent to a fully charged 8 cell NiMH battery at 1.4 volts per cell.

I've been seeing these little IHC LA and LB engines running car alternators at engine shows this year. Usually they are chugging away charging up the camper battery. I decided to build one for myself -but I made mine electric starting! The starter generator came from an old garden tractor. I made a few simple brackets and here you see it. This video is the "maiden voyage" of the thing, so I didn't really know what to expect. Since this video was taken I have adjusted the mechanical voltage regulator to throw a little more charge than 0.8 amps. This engine was used to pump an oil well for most of its life.

The L134 one more time...

Installed my new generator pulley tightener and cranked it up one more time. This time, with the different generator and voltage regulator, the ammeter looks much better.
