ESC Auto detect cell count issue

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

I have 2 of these ESCs. PRODUCT ID: HK-SS20A-HW Hobbyking SS Series 18-20A ESC (card programmable)

I have set my cut-off voltage to low and soft.

I am running 2s batteries.

After running for 2 to 3 minutes, the motors reduces power to what I assume is soft cut-off level.

In low cut-off, the voltage would work out to about 7.8 volts for a 3s battery.

It appears the auto detect is detecting the battery as 3s instead of 2s.

Does anyone know how this autotect actually detects cell count. Possibly it is using the cut-off voltage as a base and if that voltage is higher than the battery voltage, then is would pick a lower cell count. I'm guessing.

	are your batterys in bad shape to cause the cut off
