looking for good threashold number for a 14.8 lipo

[jhardway]

I am thinking to about seeing what my copter will do if I move up to a 14.8 lipo, currently I am using a 11.1 and I have the thresholds dialed in to 10.3 final and 10.45 warning.

I am wondering what would be a good start on the numbers if I moved up to a 14.8, thanks for you help ahead of time.

Simple - divide your current values by 3 and multiply by 4

I.e. if its 10.3 volts, then the new value will be 13.73

I use 3.4V per cell for the "loaded" 1st level and 3.3V for the second, and I use .2V for both "loss" entries. So, my settings are 1st level: 13.8V - .20V = 13.6V; 2nd level: 13.4V - .20V = 13.2V. If I stop when the flashing yellow LED comes on steady, during hovering, there's around 15-18% of capacity left. When the red flashing starts, and it starts descending, I end up with about 10% left.

Thanks guys, Those number were right on, I do have a few battery questions. When I got done with my flight I found the battery warmer then my 11.1, along with my ESC's. I know I am using higher voltage range and everything probably runs warmer. I am wondering what are signs when are you running things to hot.

Any input is very welcomed.
