Li-Ion voltage check
I know that Li-Ion batteries are not to be discharged below 3 volts per cell. Is that under load or just sitting there w/o any motors running?

RE: Li-Ion voltage check
Hi
I don't have Li-Poly for my Dragonfly but based on my knowledge on Li-Poly, it should not be go less than 3V per cell (Open Circuit or without load). Micro-Heli or Plane's Li-Poly do not have electronic circuitry to cut off the supply (not like Notebook or Cellphone Li-Ion or Poly batteries) so u have to be careful about it.

RE: Li-Ion voltage check
I've read in a bunch of FAQ's that your really don't wanna get below 3.2v per cell. So your 2 cell pack shouldn't get below 7.4v under no load. I have the E-tec's and per E-tec they recomend not going below 7.5v for my 2 cell pack.
