− | '''The ValBal Gen 8.1 Avionics''' is the eighth generation and twelfth iteration of of the ValBal core electrical architecture. It is the most up-to-date and highest performing ValBal avionics version as of September 2017, consisting of two 3-inch by 3-inch FR4 PCB's that are stacked on top of one another above 33 AA non-rechargeable lithium primary batteries. The architecture makes significant changes and improvements on the ValBal Generation 8.0 architecture, including changes in physical size, stacking connectors, power regulation and efficiency, cost, wireless communication, and more. | + | '''The ValBal Gen 8.1 Avionics''' is the eighth generation and twelfth iteration of of the ValBal core electrical architecture.
