3x or 4x 18650 Li-ion batteries for the Minion?

[Boubker - CN8BSB]

Hi all,

Still building my ultra-portable qrp station with the Minion Mini... working on power source...

Can the Minion-mini hardware support 4x 18650 Li-ion batteries fully charged (4x4.2V = 16.8V) ? 

Or should I stay with 3x 18650 Li-ion (3x4.2V fully charged = 12.6V) ?

Thanks for advice :)

Upper range is 14.8V. I would suggest sticking with the 12.6V configuration. Plenty of output and within the range.

Regards,

Greg, N7GR
