When I asked about this on the Losi customer service line they said something about this being the 90% charge point or something.

Anybody have some insight?

each lipo cell has a minimun of 3.7v and the battery should not discharged less then that. 3.7 by 3 is 11.1 so dont go lower than that or you will lose battery life and it will take less charge. ask apogee or vxr there are makers of most lipo even losi lipos
