911 display voltage

Post by collat3ral »

Hello.
I'm wondering, what is the max voltage for this type of display?
https://www.adafruit.com/product/911

On the spec sheet it lists 12v, but I would like to power the display with a 3s li-po (12.6V fully charged).
Will .6V over the spec destroy the display? Don't want to test it blindly (bad experience).

Thank you

12V is the upper limit. Run the LiPo power through a 9V regulator.
