I have mine at 2.8 a cell and it cuts off at 6.3v on a 2s pack or roughly 3.1v per cell. I have had 4 or so of these esc's and all have been the same. Very rarely do I run a pack to cutoff but if I do in practice, this is what I have always found. Hope this helps

Please dont set your cut off to 2.8v a cell dropping a lipo under 3.0v a cell can damage them and in some cases start fires.
