How low to discharge NiCd's?

Hyperion EOS0615i DUO3 charger. How low should I discharge my NiCd batteries? They are two 1800mAh for my nitro starter box and also see duty in a basic rock crawler. Thanks.

I think most people recommend 5.4V for most any sub-c pack, but I used 4.8V for Nicd and it seemed to give them a bit more punch

If you are discharging, it is 0.9 volts per cell...

4 cell is 3.6 volts no lower
6 cell is 5.4 volts no lower
8 cell is 7.2 volts no lower

hope this helps

Thanks, perfect! My charger is shutting off at 6.5v on a 6 cell, figured that wasnt right.
