I've never seen a pack that does a full on dump and holds a flat curve going from 14.8v to 12v or (18.5/15 - 22.2/18) and I've seen a lot of eagle tree data. Typical packs even good ones at about 85%-95% of capacity start to drop and the .8 to 1.2v difference means anywhere from 300-900mah (1-3mins) depending on how good the pack is. It maybe only 1min range for a TP, FP, Elite, Neu type pack and closer to the other end w/ some lower quality packs, but it does make a difference.
Lets see your eagle tree or at least some detail about these packs that hold a 14v line until the second they dump... I'm very interested in getting some LOL
