It's fine. The LVC will trip when the battery reaches the set voltage. You saw 16v, but that was not under load and a short rest. Any battery voltage will drop when running.

The charging voltages you saw are normal. Lipos have a fairly flat discharge curve. Meaning, they stay at ~3.7v/cell for the majority of the cycle. At the end of the cycle, they drop off to 3v/cell quickly, but that also means they charge from 3v to 3.7v quickly as well.
