It's designed to be hooked to a car battery so I know it will handle at least 14 but If it would handle 4s lipo I could hold about a 60 amp load on a pack. I could still run the pack through my Eagle tree for Data logging or even do a live view so I can monitor the voltage and cut it before going below 3v/cell. I know 60Amps isn't anywhere near the "rated" capabilities of these packs but it would be a continous load at more than twice the average current draw they would see in RC use
I've considered this before, since an AC inverter can really generate ALOT of DC load.

Problem is: The lower input limit is 10v, but the upper input limit is 15 volts.
