Western Robotics Hercules High Current 5 Amp BEC (4.4/5.3/6/8.3V)

This is the Western Robotics Hercules High Current 5 Amp BEC. The Hercules Battery Eliminator Circuit High Current version (HBEC-HC) is first to be designed and manufactured in Canada with high quality components that can withstand even more extreme high current loads in excess of 5 Amps continuous. The Hercules Battery Eliminator Circuit HC is a glitch free, high efficiency, high power switching regulator designed to work with all popular brands of R/C receivers and servos. It provides safe and consistent power to your R/C receiver and servo(s) that eliminates the need for a separate battery source. The Hercules HC will boost performance on your R/C model by reducing the overall weight while maintaining a high current output from high voltage sources. The Hercules HC is ideal for today’s more demanding R/C aircraft equipped with digital servos that require higher current demands.

NOTE: This Hercules BEC High Current version is only recommended for 2.4Ghz radio systems.
