I´ve one question: Does anybody use the quark with A123 Cells? Is the Quark programmable so that the LVC will _NOT_ kick in to early? Don´t get me wrong i do not need a LVC for the A123s i just want to shut the LVC off.

One can configure quite a bit regarding LVC (i just read the Quark Manual) but i don´t see a possibilty to shut it off.

I don´t understand how the Quark determines who many cells are connected to it and how it calculates at which voltage it shuts off.

To make it short - does anybody use the Quark Monster Pro with A123s without problems?

Thanks for some help!

Marc.

I use the Quark 80amp ESC and A123 cells with no problems. The 80 amp and the Monster Pro have the very same settings.

I set the Lipo cut off to it's lowest setting of 2.2 volts per cell. A123 recommends a 2.0 cutoff for their cells, but by the time they hit 2.2v per cell, they are pretty much done anyway.

The discharge curve is very flat for A123's.

I hope this helps.
