lipo percentage level

[E-maxx12T]

whats the lowest percentage that a lipo can go down to without being damaged ? I am new to lipo.

Keep it above 3v/cell. 3v is considered 100% discharged.

I keep mine at 3.2/cell as far as my cutoff voltage settings go. Just a little safety margin. :)

thanks, but do you know what percent that is?

[rccardude04]

You mean 3.2/cell? It depends on the amp draw you're putting on it I would imagine.

If you're setting it up for a charger, you don't even need to discharge the packs. Ever.

If I had to guess, it's probably around 90-95% though.

Use resting voltage of 3.5 or 3.7 volts per cell. I call 0% 3.5 volts.

When using my Cellpro 4S to monitor percentage left, I usually try not to let my batteries get below 20%. I'll time my flights to see when I get to the 20% and not fly any longer than that.
