  • Lip Low Voltage Alarm

    What is the formula for finding out how to set these at?

    I'm using this battery.

    Admins, Sorry if this post is in the wrong spot. I had a few options and thought I should taxi this question here.


    Thanks for the help!

    If you are testing resting Voltage, the preset 3.3V is a good number, and represents less than ~10% charge; below that value, damage begins. Seconds after using a battery at a high current, it may be lower, then recover some. Resting Voltage, after use and a 5-minute rest, should be around 3.7V for best battery life, while voltage for storage (no use for a day or more) should be between 3.8V and 3.9V. If you plan to mount this in your model to sound an alarm, it really depends on how much load there is; for example, if you model draws 30A, then 3.0V would likely be a good alarm value. Hearing the alarm while the model is moving, though, is a problem.
