Specifically, this bit....



Is that saying it will take the pack all the way down to 4v regardless of the number of cells ? OUCH! I think I will be ordering a LVC.

Yep, it will stop functioning at 4v, with no cutoff prior to that. This would be a good option if you used an external cutoff device.

One possible reason for the cutting out when set to "motor cutoff" (hard cutoff) could be a combination of long wires and connectors, assuming the battery can stay above the LVC point. BTW, the LVC cuts at 3.2v/cell.

Have you checked this? MGM told me that it was 3.1v/cell, but I suspect it may be more.
