Found it and it says:

The boost converter is based on the TPS61200 from TI and has solder jumper selectable 5V and 3.3V output, and an under voltage protection of 2.6V.

That's under the safe voltage of a cell in a LiPo battery pack. I will do some more research on that. Very interesting topic though!

Got it.

Following information is per cell:

4.2 volts - Fully charged
3.7 volts - Nominal
3.0 volts - My own safe cutoff, a personal preference - I just want to play safe, specially on radio controlled planes
2.7 volts - Safe cutoff
Anything under 2.7 will damage the LiPo battery pack/cell

If I have a LiPo 11.1v 3s 5000mAh battery with 20c discharge rate, I should be able to power the Netduino Go for a long time. I have my own rapid charger for it, so no need for a onboard charger. What are the input limits and recommendation for the Netduino Go? Is it 3.3v to 5v as recommended and 3.3v to 12v as a limit? If I have to step down to 5v, would it be best to use an external voltage regulator such as http://www.dimension...s/anyvolt-micro Thanks hoquet

The Netduino Go needs a 5V regulated input, anything less or over may damaged the board as I understand.
