Can a 60 amp esc with a etti cap board handle 5s

[darrin4800]

I have a 60 amp aquacraft esc with a etti cap board, i was woundering how many cells i can run?
Thanks for any input you can offer.

the tower hobbies site states 4S with or 8-20V without BEC, the LVC won't work so watch your runs.
do you already own the ESC? there are many different ones that can handle 5S.

Yes I already own the esc.
Thanks.

The only problem with the 8-20v rating is that 5s fully charged is 21v

[Boaterguy]

yeah, it's not a good idea to run 5S on that
you could get the fightercat 140A esc for only 85$, not too bad and VERY reliable, they have been run at 150A no problems.
