I do have that... sort of. You can select the number of cells and then the volts/cell. If you want to approximate a heavy load, choose a lower voltage per cell. The list has values from 2.7v all the up to 4.2v in 0.1v increments. I suppose I could add some lower values (like 2.5v) for the A123 cells...

Also, if the user enters in the motor resistance and approximate amperage drawn, the calculator DOES compensate by dropping the kv. Most people don't use that however and are calculating based on whatever raw kv values published, which results in a faster calculated speed than the real-world speed.
