If you set to auto detect it sets itself for 3.0v/cell. However it does work on up to 6s when you are using the Monster. If you set it to auto detect and then when you turn the controller on it will beep the same number of times as the cells it detected so you can verify it detected the correct number of cells. For instance if you plug a 5 cell pack it will beep 5 times. For a 3 cell pack it would beep 3 times, etc...

That said. I use a 3.2V/cell manual setting. No need to get every last drop out of the lipo and reduce the life of the pack.

+1!!! That would be very ccool if you could just set the volt/cell on the cut off and let the autodetect do its thing.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
