Note that if you charge at 8.4 not just the voltage but the capacity goes down as well. i.e. mines are 8500mAh @ 8.60V but they are 7600mAh @ 8.4V.

P.S. The tracks I run. no one cares about LiHv batteries and even people run 3s on their trucks. I still lap them on 2s tho. 3S SCT is not faster but longer run time which I now can achieve with my LiHv batteries.
In fact this is what i am looking to ensure.
From 8.6 down to 8.4 would really affect battery capacity and car run.

Thanks!
