A123 Low Voltage Protection ?

[Xtremespeed]

Don't be afraid to run them with no voltage protection. I run mine until it dumps. You can't miss it. Feels like a Wal-Mart radio control car when it dumps. Have never seen the voltage drop low enough to cause any damage. A123's are tough.

Yes, they dump super quick, when I do speed runs for a whole runtime, speeding back and forth on a dirt road... then I do one speeding down the road 1/4 mile away, then coming back I suddenly have no power.... OOPS! I have to run and get it because it has no energy left.

I am still surprised how quickly they dump, and there is only maybe 10 millivolts difference between almost fresh pack and the instant before it dumps, very flat discharging curve. I am starting to get the feel for seeing the dump before it happens though, it takes time.

BTW, what do most ppl run their lipo's to? I am hearin various numbers like some do 90% DOD, and others do 80%. I would like to know.
