Lipo Cutoff

[MudSlinger33]

Is this right? >>>Hobby King Battery Monitor 2S
Accurate and easy to use, the Hobby King Battery Monitor 2S will give a warning buzzer when the Lipoly pack drops below 6v. I thought the cutoff voltage for 2s was 3.2v. Cutoff at 6v would give me like 5 minutes of run time! Did hobby king screw up or am I wrong?

Voltage should not drop below 3.0v per cell. It is best to use 3.2v per cell as a rule of thumb.

So what is says 6v is that counting all the cells then?

 

[robmob]

Yes. That's a 2S low voltage alarm.

So when i run a 3cell with the mamba max pro what should i set my low voltage cut off at?

 

[robmob]

9.6v to be safe. No lower than 9v.

Lipo cell cutoff is always at 3v per cell... but as already said 3.2 is much better for them... at 3v they pretty much need to go right on the charger

I got confused, that makes sense now. Thanks guys
