Lipo cutoff voltage

[G Doggett]

What voltage are you guys setting as the cutoff on your ESCs?
Most manufacturers say 3 volts per cell but I am interested to know if you have found it better to be slightly higher ( maybe 3.5 ) to prevent cell damage.
My cells are Hyperion Litestorm VX 25C.

I run 3.3 volts per cell in my boats.

I run the 3.0V cutoff. It is safe but more importantly I time my runs. This way I dont deplete my capacity too far. capacity pack around 4200 I replace around 2500mah at charge.

I use 3.4v per cell.

3.4 for me, that is just in case one cell is not exactly balanced to another...
if you are setting it to 3v you better make darn sure it they are WELL balanced and
discharge exactly the same so they don't get ruined.

Thanks for the advice guys.
I'll set them to 3.4 volts.
Better to be safe than sorry.

That what I thought too!

Update

Just did some testing with my Eagle Tree data logger in my Triton and discovered with the cut off set at 3.4 volts ( 13.6 total) I was getting a bit of 'stuttering' now and then.
The data logger confirmed that this was because under load the voltage was occasionally dipping to 12.9 volts which was tripping the cut off.
I have reset the cut off to 3.2 volts ( 12.8 total ) which still gives a good safety margin.

HI,
Where can I purchase this link to program my ESC's for the cutoff voltage?
I have a couple of Barracuda125's and a Hydra 120.. Will the same unit work on all of the ESC's?
Thanx in Advance :)

That will program all the Castle ESC's

I have a extra one that I would send to you but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere.
