RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Argument thread: Low specc batteries don't kill ESC's. Or do they?

IIRC the reason inadequate packs could harm the ESC was due to ripple current, ie. the batteries' resistance was too high and was causing the voltage to sag under load, then rebound to a level the ESC couldn't handle. Feel free to correct me if I'm in any way incorrect.
