Battery esc combination
Hi just wondering if anybody knows if this esc has low volt cut off please

On my Huntsman tsmN I'm using legal 775 with 320 esc with either 1 or 2s Lipos wooing through buck converters which I've been informed is OK......I hope they are correct.

Thanks gents. I will have to check out those stat's in the morning. I had been running with the 4.5 gel battery which with the Esc and motor got the boat on plane very easily. Only issue was that after 15 minutes the battery was basically flat. Both the motor and esc have cooling fans and I have ensured good ventilation throughout.
The original specs for the boat are for a 750 series motor. I tried last weekend using a single 7.2v 5000a battery with a quickrun 60 esc, this of course did not produce enough grunt to get onto a plane.
More research tomorrow.

Peter,
You mentioned using a 320 ESC. What exactly does that refer to. "matching" an ESC to a motor refers to ensuring that the load carrying capability of the ESC is greater than the stall current of the motor(ideally). So folks simply ensure that the ESC will carry more than the max continuous current of the motor.
As far as your gel cell is concerned, looking at the PowerSonic specs for a 4.5 amp battery(just an example) it is capable of 2.73 amps for one hour. That does not sound like enough for your motor. Please remember that excessive current draw of a gel cell will significantly shorten it's life.
My suggestion is to try to determine the average current draw for you motor, "match" an ESC capable of safely handling that current, and then match a battery pack. I suspect that you will be looking at NImH or lithium to sully your needs.
Hope this help.😐

I am trying to match battery - Esc combination on my Sea Commander.
I have been running a 12v 750 size motor (around 16,000 rpm) with a 320 ESC and utilizing a 4.5a 12v gel battery.
Looking at utilizing two 7.2vx5000a nimh batteries - in series total of 12 cells. Easier to handle and a better fit. I think a little more run time as well.

It looks like this may not work due to the increased voltage. Should i stick with the gel battery and maybe upgrade to a larger capacity or should I be safe with the 320. Thanks.
