Is there a way improve the LVC shutdown - RC-Monster Forums

Resistance (ohms): Enter the LVC internal resistance, 200,000 in this case.
Capacitance (farads): I used 22uF. Other common values for ~25v are 10uF and 47uF, but don\'t provide the right delay IMO, but that\'s up to you.
Battery Voltage: Self-explanatory. Use the nominal battery voltage. For a 4s pack, use 14.8v.
Time Constants to show: Caps are accepted to be charged/discharged in 5 time constants, but if you want to see more detail in the lower time ranges, use a lower number.
Euler\'s number: This is a constant for natural logarithm base. Leave as-is unless you really want to mess with it.

I'm with you on this one. If the battery is dipping below the 3V/cell mark then the battery isnt up to the task and you will be damaging it if you run it this way. Gear down to reduce the load to a level that the battery is capable of supporting or get a better battery.

I say this with the exception of the MGM controllers which just flat out have much to sensative of a LVC.
