Good morning gentlemen.? I know that the PA of the BITX40 can handle 12V to 24V input.? My question is what can the rest of the board handle.? I have a 4 pack holder for 18650 batteries, and with them freshly charged they are at 16.5V output.? I don't want to burn up the board.? Does anyone know for sure what the circuits will handle?
