I recently bought the Lipo Battery Voltage Tester/Low Voltage Buzzer Alarm from Flite Test to use on my Tiny Trainer. I've seen reviews on line that shows how it works and such, but I have a question about the actual beeps and when they go off. If you set the voltage alarm to go off at a certain voltage, shouldn't the alarm continue to go off until the battery is unplugged?
The very first time i used it i didn't change the default setting of 3.30v and flew around for a little bit and the buzzer went off, but only beeped a few times then shut off. I landed and checked the voltage and it said it was still at 3.6v..? Ok, so today I went for another flight, changed the voltage setting to 3.60 and same scenario as above, the alarm went off, but did not continue to sound until it was unplugged. Is this because maybe not all of the cells had hit that low voltage setting yet, and it was letting me know that at least one cell has dropped below the 3.60v? Do all three cells have to be below that low voltage setting in order for it to continuously beep?
Also, what is the minimum voltage most of you will let the battery get to on a flight. I've looked around, different people have different opinions on what the lowest voltage should be allowed to get to before landing the plane? Might have answered my own question there, but just want to see what majority says.
Thanks in advance.
