remember with battery voltage, the 4.2 full and 3.7 flat are "at rest" values , under load the values are lower, you may find 3.4 or 3.2 during flight = 3.7 at rest

Matt is 100% right my battery alarms is setup to beep at 3.4 when I fly with a multi or fast moving plane on my glider the alarms will beep at 3.6.

I do this on the glider because you have long resting period with no throttle and if I use the 3.4 beep I litteral fly 25 min with a 1300mah and drain it down to the 3.4 almost without beeping every time not good.

Yep possible but for 3 min of flight I don't think it'll be worth it lol

no it can supply 400amps @ 12VDC for about 3 min that is a hell of a lot of amps and at lower amp draw it can give about 50% more

what dose that work out to be at 12VDC on a say 5Kg octocopter

Sorry my bad, thx for pointing it out
