LVC (low voltage cut) lipo saver

[no mods]

ok i felt it would benefit the community, especially us new comers, to discuss the issue of low voltage cutoffs and or alarms. i see this topic get touched on in many different threads but there is no uniform so im trying put what we know in one spot to help. (Besides i personally know very little about this topic as i assume many other first timers do so all i can do is ask questions)

Most of us already know its important to treat our lipo bats with care and to keep them above a certain voltage or run the risk of damaging your often costly power supply. Some of us even know that different lipo bats take require a higher cutoff rate than other lipo bats. Few of us seem to really know where to find the best of these precious gems with what we are really looking for.

I suspect most of us are running speed controls ( i myself have a quark 125b) with built in lvc's so to some it may seem pointless to even think about it. But for all of us who are interested in a little redundancy or simply a peace of mind tell us what you got.

*my setup personally consists of 2 apogee' s LOA's utilizing one common siren. I run 2 individual packs in my rig to make 5s. I unfortunately had to use two because of the loa's max cell input of 4. but went this route because of wiring simplicity and its lack of integration into my already complex esc fan ubec combo. Also apogee's LOA is suitable for all of us 20c-ers because it rings out at 3.25v.

tell us what you think...
