On one hand, it would prevent a lot of damaged ESCs, and batteries -- when users are pushing batteries insufficient for the application.

BUT, on the other hand, a lot of people who are running "marginal" systems will see a performance decrease, and might yell "FOUL!" at us for releasing software that would actually lower the performance of their system.

As it is, very few controllers actually get damaged by ripple voltage/current -- but the people who damage controllers this way don't just do it once and then learn a lesson. They tend to destroy controller after controller with the same bad setups. And then they blame US for making a defective product.

Brian, and others, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this...
