RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Controlle with built in Low Voltage Cutoff?

MetalMan · 08:40 AM

The MGMs are currently not computer-capable, but they have the hardware for it (little ports on one side).

All of the MGM controllers feature a built-in LVC, and it can be set for hard cutoff (motor stops), soft cutoff (motor RPM decreases), or no cutoff. For Lipos, the cutoff is 3.1v/cell, but I am not sure what it is for NiMh cells (I would guess 0.9v/cell, I might be able to confirm this later).

EDIT:
Last night I was able to confirm that the MGM controllers do have a 0.9v/cell cutoff for NiMh. I tested this using my Duratrax ICE with the "motor break-in" feature, but it was acting as a variable voltage power supply.
