    Hydra 120 question

    Am I missing a setting where I can get some kind of warning when the batteries have run down. Today, once I hit 3.3v per cell it just stops.

    In the middle of the pond.

    What lipo cells are you using? Some older 20c Lipo cells would give you fair warning (boat slows) before hitting LVC, then if it did die on water batteries sometimes would build back up enough energy to get you back to shore. My new Hyperion G3 batteries will not slow down and give me any kind of warning. When they hit LVC you have to retrieve boat.

      If I remember rightly there is a setting for the Hydra to either stop or slow when the LVC hits. You will also need to increase the voltage at which the LVC activates to ensure that you don't run them down too far before you need to return to shore.
