Default Minimum Ignition Voltage of 7.4V ????

Hi Pete,

As per your post below, does this mean the engine will stop if the LiPo reaches 7.4V ?

Is this really true, even though this is only 3.7V per cell for a 2 cell LiPo, and is roughly only 50% of the usable capacity depending on discharge rate ??

I would much rather risk damaging my ignition battery by accidently taking it down to 6.0V rather than have the engine cut at what may be a very inappropriate moment.

Is there a low voltage warning such as momentary throttle cut blips or pulses to warn the user the are close to the cutoff ?

Thanks,
Jag
