Well ya know, us florida crackers ain't got much o them technical minds to wrap round such equashuns

Maybe I read it wrong. I thought he was saying the voltage was going to drop quicker. Still not sure why you would set the LVC that high.

I have experienced an issue once where I was drawing so many amps, the LVC didn't cut in right away and I got to about 2.7v per cell then it cut in all of a sudden..... Not sure if this is what the poster meant?

sounds like your LVC is wacked

[sailr]

hmmm, maybe! I've never experienced that. But with the higher C ratings, that should allow more amp draw and help prevent it I would think.

Yeah, sounds more like a bad ESC than a battery problem.

Yep, also the only real reason the lvc would kick in early is if the cells can't [rovde the needed amps. Voltage drops, LVC kicks in.

agreed, and isnt that what its built to do?

[Rumdog]

Man, do I need a spell check.

[crabstick]

ESC is still fine, and LVC cuts in nicely when im not trying to draw stupid amounts of amps from it... I just think on this particular occasion I drew too many amps, too quickly and the LVC didn't cut in right away.

sounds like a battery issue
the LVC is built to save the batteries and if its not keeping up its not working right!

Sorry.
What I was trying to say is that they will hold the voltage higher under load & that if the LVC is set to say 3.0 V They will totally discharge their full capacity & sometimes even more before the voltage drops to the LVC & you've over discharged your battery as there will not be around the 20 % capacity left.
Even when set at 3.2V my 40C packs will have only about 10% or 15% left if I let them hit the LVC (which I try never to let happen)
So these Higher rated Packs WILL hold their voltage Higher for longer & the packs Will most probably over discharge before they hit an LVC of 3.2v or maybe even 3.4V Remember over discharged is with less than 20% capacity left in the pack.
I've put back 5480mah back in a 40C 5000mah pack once when I ran it until it hit a 3.0V LVC. A 20C pack wouldn't allow that to happen.
as its voltage would sag earlier.
As a rule I try to bring the boat in before I hit any LVC.
Hope this helps a bit.
Paul.
