Default RX Lipo Min. Voltage

I have finally converted to rx lipo packs, but I was wondering whats the min voltage that the 2s lipos can be run. I'm running a 3R & SR3100, so would the failsafe kick in before the lipo gets too low?

A lipo used for rx is no diff than a lipo used for powering a car. Min shouldn't be below 6v. I use 6.2 - 6.4 to provide a safety factor.

Batt failsafe is prob 4.8v and thats too low, you can't depend on that to protect the rx lipo - it will overdischarge it. I just learned of a lvc for lipo thats wired to the balance tap, may want to consider one to protect your rx lipo.

That battery monitor is pretty trick. I have to pick one up but in the meanwhile I'll use a DMM to keep pack's voltage in check.
