Prolux Mini Power Panel W/Ignitor Charger
Description
The Prolux Mini Power Panel with Ignitor Charger (Part No: PX2683A) is a compact, "all-in-one" field box essential for nitro and gas pilots. Designed to be mounted directly onto a flight box, it streamlines your starting equipment by providing regulated power for your starter, fuel pump, and glow plug—plus a dedicated port to recharge your pocket glow ignitor.
Key Features:
- Triple Power Output: Provides three distinct power supplies from a single 12V DC source:
- 12V Port: For high-torque engine starters or electric fuel pumps.
- 1.2V Glow Port: Direct connection for a glow plug clip with auto-adjusting current.
- 1.25V Charge Terminal: Specifically for charging Ni-Cd or Ni-MH pocket glow starters.
- Super Regulator Design: The 1.5V output automatically adjusts current based on the glow plug size (up to 5A), ensuring consistent heat without burning out the plug element.
- Reverse Polarity Protection: Built-in safety circuitry protects both the panel and your battery if the input leads are connected incorrectly.
- Space-Saving Footprint: Significantly smaller than full-sized power panels, making it ideal for portable or "mini" flight boxes.
- Status Indicators: Often includes LED indicators to confirm power status and charging activity for your ignitor.

Field Setup Tip:
While designed for a 12V Lead Acid battery, many modern pilots mount this panel to a 3S 5000mAh LiPo to save significant weight in their flight box. Pro-Tip: When using the Ni-starter charge terminal, the LED typically stays solid red during charging. Since this is a slow-charge circuit (trickle), it is safe to leave a glow driver on overnight, but it won't have an "auto-cutoff" like a peak charger.
