Hi folks. Been running Spektrum smart batteries for years and just bought new CNHL batteries (6200mah 6s and 8000 mah 4s) which I am excited to try. What is the recommended LVC? Ive always tuned my ESC settings to pop LVC so that my batteries are at 3.8v/cell when I check the cells 'hot off the press' so to speak. As they cool down the voltage changes a bit so I always plug my batteries into my charger and get them at 3.8v/cell for storage. Can I go lower with LVC or should I go higher? Trying to get more runtime without prematurely killing my batteries.

Thanks yall!
 
3.4v or auto is what I usually have mine at, usually on HW escs. For my batteries with poor voltage drop issues (ie Zeee) I turn off my LVC.

Edit: Most of the time these days I rarely go down to LVC. I start to notice a punch and speed drop when the battery hits storage charge or around 3.8 to 3.7v so I just stop right there, put them back on the charger so it can balance out and store until next time.

Thanks folks! Shooting for 3.5-3.6 as long as the cooled battery doesn't go far below 3.4ish.
