Are Zippy Lipos safe with a Castle MMM Speedy?

No Really...1F is just a joke. red smoke is a good idea and TVS Transient Voltage Spikes are are real problem. That is why patrick said DONT USE THE NO SPARK THING.

The better the battery, the less ripple current ... so what we do is size the capacitors to something that is reasonable, and use a high switching frequency to optimize the capacitance (higher switching = lower ripple current.)

But, the enemy is ripple voltage -- and the better the battery, the less ripple voltage.
