RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Argument thread: Low specc batteries don't kill ESC's. Or do they?

I dont see how a battery would be at fault ..
the only way would be is if the pack was marked wrong........

and it was a higher voltage than marked.
and the chances of that are VERRY slim.

looks like a average esc failure

the second vid dont know for shure.. but i dont see how a cap can make a esc fail as the cap is on the Voltage INPUT side of the esc not on the Output of the FET's of the motor output.
a short there would make it fail yes .

and the third just look at the landing all types of things could have went wrong...............

a Bad spec battery would just not come up to the rated voltage or amperage or the "C" rating and would just be like a low battery.
and a low batt would NOT do this.
