So if I use 300mah in 20 min then that means I will only use 900mah in 60 minutes and 1800mah in 120 minutes. I just dont remember whats the deal about running the lipos down so low.
Reason I am asking is b/c I am gonna be doing a 5 hour (thats right, 5 hour) truggy endurance race. 1 team of 4, one chassis. Not having to come in for 2 hours for a battery change would be amazing!
So my question is, do you guys remember how low I can run the lipo?
I have a protek regulator with mine and it has an led light that stays green while the charge is good and the paper work that come with it says it while trun red at 6.2 volts or lower. I take it that at around 6.0 volts that it may dump at anytime. hope this helps
