Prolux Lipo Volt-Saver Battery Low Voltage Alarm 5,6 Cell
Description
The Prolux LiPo Volt-Saver (Part No: PX1417) is a critical safety device designed for high-voltage RC setups. It provides an early warning system to prevent over-discharging of your expensive 5S (18.5V) and 6S (22.2V) LiPo packs. Unlike generic alarms, this unit is engineered for the higher voltage ranges of large-scale aircraft, boats, and 1/8 scale vehicles.
Key Features:
- Dual Warning System: Provides both a high-intensity light signal and a loud audible beep, ensuring you can see and hear the warning even from a distance.
- Intelligent Detection: Automatically recognizes the connected battery's voltage and confirms the setting with a distinct beep pattern.
- Ultra-Low Power Draw: Consumes only 0.96mA, meaning it won't contribute to draining the battery it is meant to protect.
- Lightweight Design: At just 7g, it can be mounted easily with double-sided tape in even the most weight-sensitive aircraft or drones.
- Temperature Resilient: Rated to operate from -20°C to +85°C, making it reliable for high-performance brushless setups that generate significant heat.

Operating Guide:
The PX1417 is designed for simplicity. When you plug it into your battery's balance lead or main power (depending on your connector setup), it will run a quick self-test. Pro-Tip: Listen for the confirmation beep after connecting; this tells you the unit has correctly identified the cell count. If you are flying, mount the LED in a visible location (like the underside of a fuselage or through a cockpit window) so you have a visual cue to land immediately once the red light begins to flash.
Note: If you are looking for a version for 2S, 3S, or 4S batteries, you will need the PX1416 model, as this specific unit (PX1417) will not function below 16.5V.
