I'm looking to put voltage alarms on my 6s Kraton and Noto. Can people share what alarms they're using and pics of how they're installed? Thanks.

I use the same alarms for the same reasoni use these lipo alarms in my son's power wheels. They are super loud and easy to use. They connect to the balance lead and you can velcro the alarm to your battery.

I’ve got a few HRBs and they’ve been great. I wouldn’t call them a high-performance battery, but I’ve put them through the paces with no issues.Yeah not a big fan of HRB lipos I have had 4 all with short life spans.there C rating is farther off advertised then most. New lipo in video there showing 60C rated battier showing a 19C ratting from brand new based on mAh and resistance. To keep it under that 60C rating he was only ok pulling 50amps. So my questions is what HRB do you have C rating and mAh. Then are you pulling more then 50 amps from them if they are the smaller 4000mAh ones. 2050KV 6s stock arrma is going to pull more then 50 amps a lot of the time. Just considering its coming with 150 amp Esc and that's it's constant rating under heavy loads you can see 300+amps peak. I would question the Lipos First.
Further question What ESC are we using if it's the firma 150 that came in the arrma stock the LVC is set to 3.2v lower then what most would recommend running and is a good reason to have one. Since the LVC on stock arrma is locked but the firma 150 its self not from RTR can be set to 3.4V.
It’s the 5000mah 65c batteries paired with my mmx8s with 1650kv Kraton and mmx6s with 2250kv noto.Yeah not a big fan of HRB lipos I have had 4 all with short life spans.there C rating is farther off advertised then most.

Yeah seeing as its a castle ESC as long as you have the I think they call its auto lipo volt/cell in castle link set then the voltage alarm should not be needed. Again I would question the lipo health over the ESC LVC. We are under the assumption here that you are all ways balance charging your lipo not "charging" your lipo as not balance charging will in most cases over charge the first cell more then others and could cause a single cell burn out like this. I would look at other battier health things like is it damaged is it getting warm on a 1c charge a lipo should not heat up on a reasonable charge if its heating up on a 1c charge might have internal short.It’s the 5000mah 65c batteries paired with my mmx8s with 1650kv Kraton and mmx6s with 2250kv noto.
