Thanks ! Which one ?

Actually, both. But I was thinking of the "electric flight" one when I
made the comment above. Speaking of which - in Antares, is it possible
to use all those batteries to power avionics? I would imagine that
long after they are depleted as far as powered flight is concerned,
there should be enough juice for radios, varios, transponder etc.

This is the route the Front Electric Sustainer guys have gone - using
the large high-voltage LiPo pack with a DC/DC converter with just a
small 12 V battery for stabilization. A neat solution.
