I have one of the smaller of these ( one controller w/four terminals, one four-button remote).

Controller box runs fine on 18650 LiPos, giving 14 volts or so. On the other side, LiFeS2 / FR6 / 15LF / Energizer Ultimate AA's can crank out about 3k mah.

I've only launched some composite d10's and d21's so far ; hoping to try a Green G next week if the weather cooperates. Will try to remember to check back in here with results.
