Lipo batteries don't show any signs of "dumping" until they are completely dead. That is why having a Lipo shutoff is important when running Lipo batteries. If you don't run a shutoff, make sure you charge your Lipo batteries frequently throughout the day (just to be safe). I know some chargers will bypass the low voltage warnings and will put just enough charge into the pack to save it. As for performance, it may be effected slightly. Good luck!
