Hello Steffen,
A warning came with my Castle ESC which says not to connect another power supply in parallel with the built-in BEC. In other words do not connect a 4 cell RX pack in parallel with the BEC.
The Castle ESC's have switching BEC's just like the three ACT BEC's that I got from you. I have always used 4 cell RX packs in parallel with my ACT BEC's and had no problem at all.
Other makers of some other switching BEC's warn against using a 4 cell RX pack in parallel with their products.
An exception is Kontronik, who RECOMMEND using a 4 cell RX pack in parallel with the BEC on their ESC's.

Can you please find out if this is because the Kontronik BEC's are special in some way?
What could happen if I use a 4 cell RX pack in parallel with the BEC on my Castle ESC?
Does anyone else say it is ok to use a 4 cell RX pack in parallel with their BEC's?
