General TAB information
Battery Type –Select NiMH, or Lithium-Ion / Lithium Polymer batteries
Cutoff Voltage – This is a critical option to understand and used to protect Lithium or M1
batteries from being over-discharged , which will shorten the life, cause damage to the
battery, or even result in Fire or Personal Injury.
When using NiMH batteries you do not need to set a cutoff voltage to protect the
batteries. NiMH batteries typically stop operating your vehicle before any damage occurs.
If you are using more than 6-cell NiMH batteries, you must adjust the cutoff voltage, for
example if you are using an 8-cell pack of NiMH batteries you would use a cutoff of 5.6V
volts (8 x 0.7V = 5.6V). If you are using fewer cells of NiMH batteries, a cutoff voltage of
4.0V will provide power for your radio system to operate and reduce the chance of losing
control.
•
No Cutoff The choice for racing used along with quality NiMH battery packs.
• Customize Voltage Cutoff (for NiMH Batteries) you can select a starting cutoff
voltage of 4, 5, 6, 9 or 12 volts. Then using the up/down to the right of the voltage
you can increase the voltage stepping up 0.1V between the selectable settings.
Following the above example for an 8 - cell NiMH battery , you would select 5.0V and
then increase 6 steps up to 5.6V.
DO NOT USE the above setting with any type of Lithium battery pack
