Cutoff Voltage

Sets the voltage at which the ESC lowers or removes power to the motor in order to either keep the battery at a safe minimum voltage (for Lipo batteries). The ESC will monitor the battery voltage all the time, it will immediately reduce the power to 50% and cut off the output 10 seconds later when the voltage goes below the cutoff threshold. The RED LED will flash a short, single flash that repeats (☆, ☆, ☆) to indicate the low-voltage cutoff protection is activated. If you use a NiMH pack, then please set the “Cutoff Voltage” to “Disabled”.

Option 1: Disabled

The ESC won’t cut off the power due to low voltage after you select this option. We do not recommend using this option when you use any LiPo battery, otherwise you will irreversibly damage it. However, for avoiding losing power in racing due to low voltage, we recommend using this option (this still may cause damage to your battery pack). You need to select this option when you use a NiMH pack.

Option 2: Auto

The ESC will automatically calculate the corresponding cutoff voltage as per the number of LiPo cells it detects and the “3.1V/cell” rule. For example, if the ESC detects a 4S Lipo, then the cutoff voltage for the battery shall be 3.1x4=12.4V.

Option 3: Customized

The customized cutoff threshold is a voltage for the whole battery pack (adjustable from 5.0V to 20V). Please calculate the value as per the number of LiPo cells you are using. For example, when you use a 4S and you want the cutoff voltage for each cell is 3V, then you need to set this item to 12V.

Note:

please set this item to CUSTOMIZED when you use a 5S LiPo.
