The battery voltage in mentioned in the published rules is 1.2V. Is it allowed to use batteries with a different voltage?
The 1.2V used in the cost formulas is a “typical” value for a NiCad cell under load (it would be higher under no load, and lower under high loads). All aircraft must use NiCad batteries. The actual circuit voltage will vary depending on the actual load at any time. The “nominal” 1.2V value will be used for the cost formulas.
