If your going to use the pre made cut off points use the 6V but understand your pushing the battery to its limit. I swear when i had the max that you could make custom cut off points. You don't want to go below 3V per cell.

A good "custom" cut-off for a 2 cell is 6 or 6.4 volts.

The higher the load on battery the lower the cut-off can be.

A small battery with high load might pull down to well below 3 volts and still not be depleted and a large battery with small load may be depleted too much with a 3.2 volt cut-off.

Ultimately shoot for a resting voltage of 3.7 per cell.
