If i use lipo do i have to run the battery all the way down not below the cutof just for example if the battery lasts 20 minutes (safe to were it hits the 20th minute at the cutoff) and i run it for ten what happens next. after i unplug it can i charge it or do i have to wait and run the other ten minutes out of it later. the quark 125b has a build in low voltavge cutoff right.

Overdischarging damages Li-Po's. Extreme over discharging can lead to a "puffed" pack or worse. That is why the LVC (low voltage cut-off) nneds to be activated on the esc.
