Now users of all models and brands
of ESCs can appreciate and enjoy the
advantages of Lithium Polymer (Li-Po)
battery packs without the fear of damaging
the cells. The Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off
Module will monitor your Li-Po battery
pack voltage and prevent the batteries
from going below the critical safety
voltage level. This is achieved using
a combination of throttle interruption
and a visual cue from the included
ultra-bright blue LED. The Smart-Stop
Modules are available for 2-cell (#5470)
or 4-cell (#5471) Li-Po battery packs
and can be used with any brand brushed
or brushless speed control for car,
boat, or air applications.
For racers and bashers
alike, the Smart-Stop Module will prevent
your vehicle from draining your Li-Po
packs below their safety level. The
Smart-Stop Module connects between
the receiver and speed control, and
is easily set up with a One-Touch Set-Up
button to learn the ESC’s settings
for accurate and complete control.
The Smart-Stop Module will interrupt
the ESC’s throttle operation
with short periods of throttle blipping.
This is a warning that the Li-Po battery
voltage safety level is approaching,
giving the user a chance to bring in
the vehicle. In addition, the remotely-mounted,
ultra-bright blue LED will begin to
flash, giving a clear visual cue that
it is time to stop the vehicle. If
the vehicle is run beyond this warning
period, the Smart-Stop Module will
bring the motor to neutral while leaving
full steering servo control.
