@philip2501 Yes it is Philip, this video is intended to help those just getting started. It was actually inspired from a personal experience at a track where someone had bought a new charger and didn't know anything about it. After spending some time with him the idea for this video came about.

I want to use a life 6.6V in my receiver, but i dont know how much i can discharge it before my car run away. LOW VOLTAGE ?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@rafa37523 Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines but for LiFe common cutoff ranges are between 2.1 and 2.4 volts PER CELL. So if you have a 4-cell LiFe pack you'd be looking at an overall cutoff of 8.4-9.6v, roughly.

Very good information; great for reference in charging my XXX-SCT. Nice video!

When are you going to make a miniature alternator that I can install on my baja 5b so it keeps the battery charged like a real car?. Then I will only need to charge the battery in the radio.
