What voltage per cell would you set this device, to be safe- when using an RC boat that runs dual lipos?

Regardless of what vehicle it's in or if it's running packs in parallel or series I've always stopped at 3.6v/cell when the pack is at rest. You could possibly go lower and still be safe, however I noticed that my packs lasted a lot longer stopping at 3.6v/cell. Also I found these alarms to be rather quiet. Just a heads up. Enjoy �

3.2 is a safe place to start if you dont care about the life span of your lipo go under that

I use a 12 volt car battery. It runs all afternoon on it. It would probably run even longer on a deep cycle marine battery.

Have not found any documentation available for upper limit of DC voltage on this motor.The typical output of a car or marine battery is approx, 13.6 volts. Just to be safe, wouldrecommend a (Low Voltage Dropout) LDO voltage regulator IC to keep output voltage to12 VDC. Motor is rated at 70 milliamps of current so be sure regulator can handle 1.5 timesthat amount for safety. This is a pretty stout little motor. Torque is apprx. 1.6 FtLb at 12"radius from shaft. That may not sound like much but it will move a lot of cartridge brass ina hopper for a reloader.

Dunno if this one will makeyour truck faster, which kind of batterie areu using right now? If u r still on 6/7cell lithiumion go and switch to 2s lipo packs, for thoseu will need a different loader than the standart one, but buying a lipo loader and 2 lipo packs realyisworth it cause with those u will drive for like 45 minutes, charge them in 1 hour and have like 150% speed and power.GreetingsRoger

I have 2 sets on my pontoon and am adding 2 more I will definetly run a secon battery, but if you put a switch on them and use them for 2 or 3 hours, you could probably get by with one battery, hope this didn't muddy the issue to much . It's always nice to have a extra battery on board, in case your starter battery decides to belly up. Good luck and enjoy !

I run mine off a 3S lipo (12v). It may have a voltage ranges it runs off of. I just don't have the manual in front of me right now.

For basttens ar drone lipo batteries just connect the balance and charge wire of the battery to lipo charger. (Only exist one way to do this) Them turn the dial to 2.6 amp. If you select the exact mark 2.5 it's is OK.

If you still want to know, buy any brand lipo battery that is 1 cell,3.7 volts, 380 mah. or less. You might need to modify the connectors, but it will work better. If you want any additional power, get a 2 cell 7.4 volts, 180 mah.

datasheet is SLC-12VDC-SL-C, you're good from ~9-14 vdc. I use the battery/charge controller for power, not the pv.

It is all based on how you drive the vehicle. If you are driving it hard and full throttle all the time your battery will die quickly. You should consider getting a 2s 7200 lipo

Yes, you need to set the ESC to LiPo mode to avoid ruining the battery. Also, if you don't already have one, you need a LiPo compatible charger.

Well, if you expect to be getting more into hobby grade rc (as in buying more lipo batteries in the future), I'd go ahead and get "Thunder Power TP610C AC/DC Charger", otherwise, any lipo charger will do... like "Traxxas 2935 2-3 Cell LiPO Balance Charger".

I have a special charger for my R/C truck (duratrax onyx) that can be programmed for all types and sizes of batteries, so I don't have any problem with batteries overcharging. I purchased 5 additional LiPo battery packs for the quadcopter real cheap and they work great. The enemy of batteries is the charger - it's worth while to go with a programmable charger for any rechargeable batteries you own. I bought a cheap 5-way splitter to charge multiple batteries for my quadcopter at the same time and it works just fine. But, you need to have a good charger that doesn't overcharge. Otherwise, your batteries will puff up and their life will be shortened. Another advantage of a programmable charger is that the charge time is much shorter. I can charge one battery in as little as 35 min, or around 60 min at a lower mah rating (which will help the battery last longer). Look for a charger on Amazon - you can find them for around $35. I just cut the end off my 5-way splitter and put a plug on it that's compatible with my charger. Just keep the polarity correct and you're good to go. BTW - if you charge multiple batteries, I would make sure each is equally used, ie dead, then boost the mah rating according to how many batteries you're charging at once. I would charge one battery pack at 0.5 mah, but use 1.0 mah for 2 packs. Make sure the voltage is set correctly, as well as the type of battery (ie LiPo, Nimh, etc).

Depends on various factors. Normally Lipo will last longer and let you recharge batterry more. For RC cars, Lipo is a must. I would not buy any other RC car that wont run on Lipo.

Only LiPo and LiFe. Haven't had a battery like that, and haven't tested it. Just get a charger made for the battery to be safe. Always

I used the 3-cell 11.1v lipo all summer on it. Works completely fine. System is good for 14.4v.

This is a great charger for the price, but it doesn't have a storage mode. Amazon has the small lipo voltage checkers. Buy several. You can set them to go off at 3.7 volts per cell while flying so each cell will be at 3.85 or something close for storage. NEVER DROP INDIVIDUAL CELL VOLTS BELOW 3.0
