Default RE: Why such a big variation in watts on my Integral?



What E logger is not telling you is the individual Voltage/cell.



First time I plugged a Cell logger into my plane I was shocked how differently each cell behaves under load. As pack is discharging the differences become more obvious.






What you see here is Flightmax 2650 4S 30C. The max load was 53A, so 20C. It seems that anything below 3V/cell is very unhealthy for LiPo. Here one of the cells was at 3.15V and the other at 3.42V under load. 30 more seconds of flying and the cell would have been permanently damaged.



Very, very useful tool!
