hi all

been trying to find this answer for last 2 days, but way to many posts

i've got problem now , after about 70 cycles on FP 2170, that my lvc cuts in after about the first roll. regardless of time flown.
LVC set to 3.2v (mini titan stock esc, stock motor, stock everything)

I've tested: takeoff, do 1 roll, and lvc cuts in. land, and only put 200mah back in.

in normal FF and hovering, i'm getting still about 6:30 min flying and put about 1650 mah back in
after the lvc kickes in, I land, hit throttle hold and wait 10 seconds, then fly again fine with out any problems, well, till next roll ;)

does this mean my pack starting to go, or this pointing to something else? i have 2 new packs on the way, so cannot say as yet if this happens on other packs.

any help appreciated.

I had three of those die an untimely death in a somewhat similar fashion. They were only a couple months old and never abused. I could just be flying around slowly and the power would drop off dramatically after about a minute in the air - so much that the heli would start to drop. I could land for a few seconds and spool back up, but soon the headspeed would drop back down again. The batteries were not even warm and not puffed at all - looked totally normal. The charger showed them being almost full and charged them back no problems, this was on a Cellpro4S too. I know lots of people have great luck with these batteries, but I'll never touch another. I have since moved to the Flightpower 2500 evo25 and 2500 evolites with great success. I should also mention that I have four 2100mah batteries from Skyshark RC that have far outlasted those Flightpower 2170's. Go figure. Guess I got a bad batch or something.
