On a 3S pack that's a problem: the battery starts at 12.6 V and spends most of the flight below 12. The PowerNODE 12V steps up as well as down, so it holds a regulated 12 V ±4% at about 2 A from any 3–30 V input, start of flight to landing.

For more than a decade we've also flown large unmanned systems: multicopters, VTOLs, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Every Node Electronics part is made in our FAA-approved manufacturing facility, housed in anodized aluminum, fully potted, and engineered to DO-160G and MIL-STD-810H environmental standards, the same standards certifiable UAS autopilots are built to. It's the hardware the unmanned and optionally piloted industry needs when \"good enough for a hobby build\" isn't.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Node Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835264663604,"sku":null,"price":449.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0773\/3565\/8548\/files\/PowerNode_PN12_07_c84fdc86-5949-42ea-93b3-1818bd972b33.jpg?v=1793035910","url":"https:\/\/node.aero\/products\/powernode-dc-dc-converter-12v","provider":"Node Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
