LVC Devices - Any recommendations??

[Ctonez]

Bye the Bye LVC @ 67% means nothing.

Okay, that's a tad snide, but expected. From what I've read, Rex puts it best. The SV ESC cutoff is different than other typical ESC cutoffs in that it calculates a cutoff @ 67% of the input voltage instead of a voltage value...at least that's how I interpreted it. ...means nothing to YOU, but to others...??? who's to say?

...if your last post is correct.

Why wouldn't it be? I have no reason to lie, and yet your comment implies you don't trust what I wrote...

I suggest you keep your comments to yourself and let other people apart from me and you, discuss the original thread

No offence to either of you and furter more you are entitled to your opinions. That said I would suggest members start taking this type of thing to pm's. I am growing tired of seeing these non productive exchanges in the open forum.

Thanks Tom. But in this case non productive is not true, A 67% value for cutoff is wrong and dangerous. A 4S LI-PO battery is rated at 14.8v if the battery is partially discharged the 67% rule will result in a damaged battery The cuttoff value must be by each cell

Guys i see both sides of it, it was taken out of context. What looked like a slam, was a harmless jab at a fellow boater friend. Time to move on to the topic at hand.......

[Steven Vaccaro]

As far as the 67% percent. Take it for what it is. There is a reason Grim and AquaCraft have stated that this esc does NOT have a lvc. Because it is basic and will not cover all situations properly.

I did not intend to steer anyone the wrong way...just inputting the info I found through my searching... I have not tested this personally, hence attributing the info to the source of the quote.
I have nothing personally against Flying Scotsman, I think we are both passionate about the hobby and value it's future.

We should get together and listen to some vinyl over a glass of sumthin' tasty...
I apologize for any terse or offensive comments, I value these forums a great deal and like many of you hate to see the good dialogue devolve into spitting matches.

cheers,

Corey and I are now on a love fest over vinyl. Intersting how brothers become brothers

Your right Doug it was productive. I think I made my point though....But vinyl...comon man that’s for siding and decals ...Digital rendering of tunes is where it's at. But I am wondering what’s in the bottle...I am thinking Grey Goose & some apple martinis myself

A little note on the origin of the 67% cut off. It's the right percentage to work with the NiMH cells that the ESC was originally intended for. 0.9V/cell was pretty much the industry "safe" standard cutoff for NiMH. This is assuming a freshly charged pack of good cells.

An LVC is highly recomended.

Thanks Brian... and now that Brian has pulled this thread around full circle and provided a segway back to the beginning... (thanks Brian!! ) , Does anyone HAVE a recommendation??

[SJFE]

Darin the one I used was installed & used in my in my SV 27 longer than any other boat. I had it cut the power and pulce the boat in 3 or 4 times..I know I know not good...lol. But it proved the unit works!!!

[Darin Jordan]

Thanks Tom... I'll look into that one for sure...

[Flying Scotsman]

Darin, apart from the manufacturer you already mentioned and they are limited on cell count. I am of the same opinion as you, who does make a LI-PO cutoff device that meets the boating community requirements?
