Per the data sheet William link, it states Power Source input of 9-18V for DC Jack... plus there is a 12V sticker on it too.
I had also checked the schematic and it uses the AP1509 voltage regulator which says to have a max Vin of 24V. I was interested in seeing if it could support a 6S LiPo ultimately for a future multicopter project. Any other thing to look at guys?
