I've been thinking about this entire problem, and something just doesn't sound right.

Then it hit me!

Go into the setup for your ESC and change your Low Voltage Cutout to 2.2 to 2.4 volts per cell.

Your ESC is still setup for regular LIPO!

you were right it was set to cutoff at 6.2V

would have never thought about that..

I hope that works but its not as if it cuts off immediately. the batteries just have no power...

ill give it a try right now n see whatsup.

thanks

You should see what that's doing on an Eagletree.

The ESC will limit or shut off amp draw at or below the LVC setting. (goes dead)

Stand back folks! It's getting new life breathed into it! LOL

I'm sure it will run fine now.

I don't know what your setup is, but the Lifepo4 cells will hold about 2.8 volts per cell under 100 amp load.

2.8 volts per cell is well below where you had the LVC set at.

Yeah it's gonna run for a few minutes, but the ESC will limit amp draw at the LVC setting of 3.1 volts per cell.

The amount of the limitation is whatever the battery will push out before the 3.1 LVC setting. Which may only be 30 amps or so.

damn sike, good thinking. makes perfect sense now that I read it.
