Will Lipo power drop off if the pack heats up?

Actually, just the opposite. As the pack warms up it gets more powerfull. Not sure about if its overheated though.

If you are seeing temps over 130 you should look onto reducing the power you setup is drawing. The packs are not keeping up with the demand and wont be lasting very long in that situation.

Man, 100 is more then fine. I usually heat mine to 100-110 so the resistance lowers a bit.

100 is fine, barely warm.

I have some 4500 30c enerland cell packs, and they get up past 130f after a decent run. They still put out power, but I can feel the voltage drop near the end of the run. I may have to go up to a more powerful lipo.

Setup is a hacker c50 11xl in a lst with a MMM. 6s 4500 30c lipos, good for 135amps, but i have heard that the 30c lipos do not hold voltage as good as the 25c ones do... Maybe get a 6000 25c 6s pack... Expensive! Maybe just gear down a bit!!!!

I can feel the power drop a little at the end of a run also, but not dramatically. Usually when I start to notice the drop off I'll stop running rather than run all the way to the cut off.
