The burst rating is absent everywhere I've looked - Tower's tech description, and DTs product page. I wonder why its not shown on the batt label, where everyone else puts theirs??

Which Novak HV are you running? That will determine if these batts are enough. Your batts are rated for 92.5amps continuous. Looking at the rated watts from 4.5 to 7.5, it looks like your batts should not have probs, but you need overhead for spikes, I think thats what that guy was saying.

Your other issue is a low voltage cutoff. Running without one can easily lead to damaging your new lipos. You can time your first run and say after 6 or 8 minutes go charge the lipos and see how much they took then you have a rough mah/min to work with. The figure how much time 80% of 3700mah would take to run out. Then back off a few minutes to provide a safety margin. 80% discharge is hwats recommended for best lipo life.

Or use some kind of wired into your system low voltage cutoff. Looks like a smart stop should be compatible.
