My MMM combo finally came - questions!

[ReV:-O]

cool thanks for your reply. i have another quick question:

i set the MMM so that it has the LVC is set to "auto-lipo", meaning it automatically sets the cutoff when it sees the lipo voltage dropping too low.
my question is, does it moniter it as one 6s pack? does it moniter it as two 3s packs, or does it moniter each cell individually?
the reason i ask is because i may have a damaged cell, and if this one cell goes below 3v but the rest of the cell's voltages are high, will the LVC realise this and alert me?
also, is there any way to set it to 3.1v cutoff instead of 3.0v? i'd feel more comfortable with 3.1v.

No, the lvc reads the entire pack voltage. I do not like the auto lipo setting, and never use it. If I were you I would hook up the castle link and set the cutoff manually at 19.2v for a 6s lipo. Which is 3.2v per cell. That will give you some extra saftey margin if one cell is weaker than the others.

cool, i would also like to set it to 3.2v per cell. but i thought the MMM read the pack as a whole, and not individual cells. how would it tell?

so instead of auto-lipo, i would want to go to "custom" and then just enter 19.2 into the box right?
