There's a specific note in the 'CPX data sheet about heater voltage - 
basically recommending operation at 5V unless peak current above 24A 
(very short pulses) is needed. With 5.5V up to 50A peak is available for 
the shortest pulses. At both voltages, the maximum current at 1sec or 
longer is 1A. Longer tube life is given as a benefit of lower voltage.
