Kraton Blx185 lvc at 3.7

[Jesseeg]

I just got av4 kraton 6s and the low voltage cutoff is at 3.7.Is thete a way of changing it?I read the manual and seems to be only a nimh and lipo mode.What will it do in nimh mode?Does that completely shut off the lvc?Thanks!

In nimh mode it won’t cut off at all. It’ll just kill ur lipos.

I don’t think the BLX185 has a NiMH mode. At least I couldn’t find it on mine. It only had one option for variable 1. But to answer your question no you cannot change the LVC variable. You will need an aftermarket ESC in order to make these types of changes.

I figured such, but I just assumed I missed the fact that it said it in the manual. I just wanted him to know that, (because maybe I missed it) if there’s a nimh mode, it’ll kill ur lipos.

Ok don't want that happening.Is thete any way to lower the lvc?

Funny I was certain there was nimh mode till I googled the manual and looked at that exact same diagram, then I backpedaled lmao.

I found out the hard way, when I was filming my speed run video. I know my BLX120 and BLX100 both had the option, but the BLX185 does not. I just figured it out myself last week, so don't beat yourself up.

Has to be, cause my V3 (actually V2 Outcast) had it. Guess they figure nobody is running them unless they come free in the box. ?

They have one manual for all the V4 rigs. Here is a link. Check page 22

Fire it up and see if the variable is actually there? Maybe you really have a V2 manual?

EDIT:
Ok so I pulled out my V4 Typhon 6S manual and guess what it says...

I can assure you there is not a second option on variable one tho

 

[Captain Dirt]

Mine is the V3 Kraton and it shows the nimh option, just haven't checked if it's actually there.

I thought the BLX185 cutoff was at 3.2v???

And it says this in my manual also but i know it cuts power at 3.7v.I would like to be able to run until 3.2 but nope.

If you're running hard, the voltage sag could be hitting 3.2v, triggering the cut-off, then going back up after resting a bit.

The cut is at 3.2 for me, which is too low and I wish I could change it to higher.

if your batteries measure 3.7 after LVC it means your batteries sag voltage under load, what batteries are they?
