Hey guys. I have an original Mamba-25, and I need to program it. It is set for a 9V cutoff for a 3s LiPo, but I no longer have access to that battery,only a 2s, and I need to lower the cutoff.
I tried to, but I can't set it with the 2s, it wont register with a high enough voltage, I just get a solid red light.

What do I do?

Thanks!

u can to LHS and just ask them if u can use one quickfor what u need to do. Most HS are nice about stuff like this.

I don't have a LHS to go to and do that, or else I already would have.

Could I possibly set my ICE charger to motor break in at 9V and set it quickly?

If you have an old DC plug for a car acc. you can split the wire and attach it to mamba but make sure it is not above 12v if its above 12.6 i think it will blow the esc

Car batteries are ~12.7vdc when charged, that might be iffy because they can be slightly higher depending on how recently it was shut off.

FloridaDude

there not always 12.7v most the time they stay 12.5-12.0v

SuperJETT

Really? I disagree completely.

I just checked my jetski battery which has been sitting for 2 months, 12.59v. A fully charged lead acid battery is 12.8v, if you're under 12 it's a bad battery.

im a custom electronics installer and most batts run 12-12.4 If its above 12.4 just set it on concrete for a few days and check the voltage or put the right size resistor on it in line. Batts have 6s each 2.1v each 2.1x6=12.6 brand new never used

I would definitely rather use something other than a car battery... I might just take one of my fried 6 cell nimh batts and juice it to 10V to program...

Still wondering if I can use my ICE though...

FloridaDude

i dont know...if it is like 9.6v when breaking in yes. but i've never used one
