I need to drain and charge the zippy again but I'm pretty sure it puts less than 4500 back in it may be even less than 4000.

So are you saying I should increase my lvc? I thought the whole reason for the lvc was to get the maximum life span out of the lipo.

lvc is just there so you dont toast your lipos...But should never be ran down to the cut off time after time. At least that's what I've been told...
