    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    Yeah, I read through that post. That's crazy. I have used Max Amps batteries in my vapes before and never had any trouble with them. But I wouldn't buy them after reading that.

    I will probably like it, but I ain't buying their damn charger. I finally got one I love after all these years and I ain't buyin another 😉 Who am I kidding. I need all the bells and whistles. I'll probably buy a charger too 🤬

    I have been secretly wanting one of the smart batteries just to see what all the hype is. So I may just have to grab a second one. But more than likely I'll just use the mismatched batteries in the Granite since it is only 3s.

    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    I told the guy it is kinda pointless to send it to me because I bought the pair of batteries to use as a 6s setup if need be. So having two different batteries now is going to be useless. Maybe he will send me 2 😜 But regardless, I got a free $60 battery out of the deal because he didn't ask for...

    I feel the same way. But after getting a bad battery from Horizon, then getting sent the wrong battery because the one I got was discontinued, they are now sending me a smart battery. So I got a smart battery coming. It's just really dumb how it happened.

    That is what I am wondering as well.

    That makes a lot of sense. But like you I am confused by the 2.6v packs. As for the C rating, I have never had a pack test true to it's advertised c rating. Some have been so far off I was mad enough to send them back.

    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    But a battery will be registering a higher voltage than it did when it tripped lvc after sitting. Once he gets his diagnostics done it will be interesting to see the voltage curve to know what the esc is actually doing. My solution would be to not buy a Spektrum esc. All my dealings with them...

    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    He has already done this. The point is he is trying to understand how this ESC determines the LVC because it is obviously different for different batteries. I check my batteries every time I hit LVC and I have never had one take a battery to 2.6v. And I have never had one cut off a whopping...

    You have to get your experience in there to make them understand they aren't talking to some dummy, so the quickest way to do that is put your experience into a title of sorts. Next time throw "engineer" in there instead of technician 🤣 On the otherhand, you are likely talking to someone who...

    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    That would be good to know. I wouldn't even use the ESC for anything other than testing til you figure it out. I highly doubt you are going to get a straight answer from Horizon or even Spektrum if you contacted them directly. I mean, I asked them for dimensions for THEIR servo and they told me...

    Spektrum Firma 160A ESC LVC Setting Info

    That is what it seems, considering the amount of variance you are seeing from pack to pack. But what the heck could it even be looking at to calculate the cutoff value? And more importantly - WHY lol? A LiPo cell is a LiPo cell when it comes to cutoff voltage. 3.0V is the minimum I would ever...

    Oh man Wolf! I would have demanded to speak to someone with a few more brain cells after that first reply. Medium is higher than low and high is higher than that? Holy crap. That guy needs to have himself a Darwin award moment. Send him a link to this thread... PLEASE. So what it sounds like to...
