Battery power conversion

<< < (2/3) > >>

KPack:
I looked over the instructions for the LM-3S-G (http://ringengineering.com/RailPro/Documents/LM-3SGInstructions.pdf) and it appears that you can connect the battery directly to the module.  Read carefully, as there are limits on what size battery you can connect directly.

In HO, you can't connect the battery directly to the module....a voltage converter is needed, because battery packs that fit in HO are typically 3.7 volts and not 12.  It's good to see that Ring Engineering designed the LM-3S-G with battery power in mind!

Hi Guys, and thanks to Bill for the plug. I have been converting G scale locos for the past 25 years and sold and installed  everything. RailPro is a installer dream. Now you get the best control system and a heavy duty large scale loco module with great sound. In my G scale LGB Genesis I have the Visaton 2.7" speakers  playing the GE 7FLD-16ULT sounds. WOW! Captures Amtrak as it goes by.

Catmaster if you can contact me directly I can offer more info about the conversion for the Genesis and C-19. We have 7 different packs to fit inside your engines.  That includes the special shaped C-19 pack that's fits inside the tender without surgery.  Over all the RailPro will cost you less using a single board than the AirWire converter plus a DCC sound decoder and wrestling with all those CV's and addresses.

I have been so successful with providing RailPro in G scale we now offer it for HO, ON30 & O scales. Imagine controlling  your HO AB units or a pair of Geeps running thru turnouts and reverse loops without stopping!   The option is here for battery powered HO engines using RailPro.

Thanks Don, I will do that and send an email.sounds like you got the
answers I need especially for my pair of Amtrak’s.
Thanks Stan

Kpack, what type voltage converter is needed for plugging a 7.4 v lipo directly into an LM? Please be specific, I am not completely electronics literate.
Thanks.
