Is this any good? Part 2 - 04.25.2006, 06:13 PM

Looking now for a couple of LVC's for my LiPo's. These seem like they would fit the bill. Good? Bad?
Thanks.

Dafni has/is using the LiSaver with his 9920 or other controller. I'll probably end up getting one too for my Mtroniks Truck which has a programming feature for the LVC, but doesn't cut off.

Andy is right, 2.5v is WAY too low. That wouldn't even be a good cutoff voltage for the Lipos of 4 years ago!

Ok, Li-Saver it is. I was just trying to be a tight a$$ and save $10 by using the other one. :dft001:
Just want to make sure this is the one though before I order. http://66.241.195.91/lithium/lithium.asp?path1=lithium
Thanks.

Well you can save the 10 but replaceing the lipos again would cost you some. Aren't you going to need two of them or how you going to work it.
You could use one if you wired the batteris in parrellal form with the two escs as well. That away the batteries will go down at same rate to.

Good point Leroy.
Yes I will be using two of them. One for each batt. Easier that way I think.

from what FMA's website states, you can set it to have a custom low voltage cutoff point that can be easily programmed by using a volt meter and flipping a tiny switch on the printed circuit board. It works with both brushed and brushless ESCs.

question is, what is a good low voltage cutoff point???
