Does this truck have low voltage detection when the lipos are low?

Yes it does , LiPo batteries cannot be drained too far without causing them damage. The electric speed control, or ESC, on most brushless electric trucks detects when the battery voltage is getting too low and cuts power

Need clarification. Are the error codes displayed when connected to the solar panel or lipo batteries after having used on solar panels? Not sure but these are made to check voltages on cells of a battery. The batteries it's designed for are 3.7v on each typically charged to 4.6 or so. If the volage exceeded that it may have damaged the circuitry. Either way they are so cheap I would just get new ones.

yes. 2 cell 7.4 will work out of box. have to turn on low voltage detection on the esc so u don't kill your lipo. I ran lipo out of the box then put a brushless velenion system in. fast little truck

Yes it does have a low-voltage alarm. If it was inRV you can hear it halfway down the RV. But still soft but you would still here it.

It doesn't matter what level your battery is at when you install it, it will indicate the battery level at that point. While it's charging, it shows fully charged. This is a nice unit , and works very well with 36v systems.

Hi, I had the lights professionally installed to come on while the truck is running only. I am a female with no knowledge of how much juice the lights are pulling. However, I have never experienced any problems with my battery.

You can check voltage , but u can't do a load test to confirm battery condition !

It should read 12 turned off and 14 on. Any lower or higher something is wrong with your batt or alternator

Not if you use the appropriate charger. Good LiPo chargers monitor the voltage as they're charging the battery and will automatically cut off when full capacity is reached.

When it is initially connected and identifies the particular Lipo cell rating, it will emit a tone and after it is set, will sound when the set low voltage triggers it.

William,I have not experienced any issues what so ever so I will ask the obvious questions: Is your battery adequately charged? You may want to hook up to your truck battery just to test. Sorry for your troubles and hope you find the problem.

Short answer, yes. Connect the unit to your battery. Voltage should read 12 volts. Start engine. Voltage should read between 13.5-14.6 volts, at any RPM over 2000. If you get a voltage reading at or under 12 volts while the engine is running, your alternator (or voltage regulator, if external) is bad. This unit can only measure voltage, which means that if the voltage is low you're not going to be able to use this unit to diagnose if said low voltage is being caused by a bad internal component in the alternator, or external regulator.

Without more information, it is hard to diagnose. It could be a binding, remote issue or bad battery. It may sound silly, but remember to put the batteries in the remote control in the correct orientation and charge the Lipo for the sufficient amount of time. Does the led on the control board light and flash?

Yes it does detect bad batteries by showing a blinking light for the battery or batteries.

Usually, if your battery is lower than 10V that you need to countact your automobile dealer. Thanks

No, but here is an article on Flite Test how you could. http://flitetest.com/articles/LiPo_Battery_Internal_Resistance_Testing

I don't think so. It only reads errors that the on-board computer returns. It wouldn't tell you if a coil was shorting, or any other mechanical problems causing a misfire like a bad spark plug or a dirty fuel injector.
