Like this you mean :) 

Not a fan of the LVC setting on hobbywing so I'd get a cheap little alarm and I recommend that yeah racing fan thingy, won't have to worry about a thing :)

my 4x hobwing lvc`s r fine..:yes:...all come off at 3.6..3.7volts....:thumbsup:...that combo would b fine

Sometimes mine came off below 3.7 resting. I need to stop running grass so much. I thought below 3.7 is not so good.

If the grass is longish it'll come off 3.75 ish, if the grass is cut it'll dip below 3.7, on tarmac it can hit 3.55 with same setting. If it had a setting for the odd numbers 3.3, 3.5 it wouldn't be so bad for me. I stuck with my sky rc ts150 in the end as I can set it to within 0.1 v ie 22.1, 22.2, 20.7, 20.4 etc for 6s. Unfortunately not wp tho.

no I only come off at that so storage charge is not far away....anything above 3.4volts is fine......

3.4v resting? That's around 10% capacity left on mine I try to stick around 20% remaining as a rule.

Have yours been o.k. drained to 3.4? if so I won't worry too much about dipping every so often. I always storage once back at room temp.

no..i`m set at 3.6-7 when they come off....i thought lipos shouldn't go below 3.2volts per cell......so 3.4v to b safe...

From what I read they shouldn't go below 3.2v under load or below 3.7v resting or 20% capacity remaining resting.

When I first started I just read the 3.2v bit so ran until it was at 3.2v and it was puffed like a balloon after 5 runs oops!!!

Hi fellas, long time :lol:

Lipos:

  • Any cell falling below below 3.6V will have significantly increased deterioration of said cell.
  • Any cell falling below 3.0V is effectively dead.

3.4V Lvc is common due to the compromise of run time against extra 'wear'

From my experiences: I used to run down to 3.2V but I now get significantly longer lasting lipos by stopping at storage. My runtime solution is solved by having 1 more charged lipo.  In effect it simply costs less.

+++

1800-2000kv on 5s ftw!

4282 can is cooler running

I'd go a tenshock 6 pole over the quickrun if u plan on sensorloss.= smoother throttle ;)

I try not to run below 3.75 ish per cell these days learned from mistakes. I don't get much run time out of a pack with my 1600 kv so I now have 6 of the 6s 5000mah zippy packs now! :D So with a 400w charger I bang 3 on in parallel at true 1C (15A) and I have 3 ready in under 40 mins from storage. I could do 4 but I like to leave some headroom on the charger. While I'm out the next 3 are on and ready by the time I'm done. Can run all day now if I want bar the 10 mins lipo cool down before they go back on :) 

Imagine trying to do that with a 50 or 80w charger lmao, can barely do a single 4s at 1C flat out!

Nice to see you Deafty :thumbsup:
