HI everyone, I was wanting to get some information on Lipo and charge levels please. I am a total noob to the electric side of things, and only just returning to the hobby after 20 years absence. So if any one would care to share their wisdom, that would be much appreciated. I have been trolling forums and YouTube and am getting the grasp of the basics, but have a few (probably idiotic) questions I would like clear answers on please.
I appreciate any advice you can provide, and thanks in advance.

- Safe discharge point on a 3S lipo? I have some 3S lipo batteries and I was wanting to know what is a safe voltage to stop at. Currently I am stopping around 11.2v, before changing batteries.
- What is the difference between 1600mah and 2200mah, does one just last longer for the same plane, or does the 2200 actually increase power to the engine as well?
- My plane is a FMS Fox glider from Hobbyking. I love it and it uses 3S batteries. I read on another formum someone saying they tried a 4S in the plane. Would this work? Can you just change voltage like that? I thought the motor was 11.1v and plugging in 14.4 would fry it, or does the ESC work this out?
I appreciate any advice you can provide, and thanks in advance.
