I don't want to fry the esc though it's not mine lol. I looked on novaks site and it's capable of 10 cells which is 12.0 volts so maybe? lipo is 3.7 a cell nominal but peak I think is highter around 4.2 that would put me at 12.6 volts. They are not high quality packs though just some jap ones so the peak might not be as high. How do I test them for volts? Just use a dvom?
a 3 cell lipo will charge to approximately 12.62 volts Jeff.. some I get 12.68 but the minimum is the .62... this is with the 6 lipo's that I own...
and I think there's some other technical bullshit that says you can't do it...
and yes!!! make sure you have a cutoff... from second hand info (my flying buddy) lipo's are not pretty when they burn up, lmao!! he ended up with the neighbors coming out from a block over to see what was happening and causing all the smoke... (that was after the explosion part that he said was pretty impressive)
