Now I'm confused.
I had heard Lipos discharge at a fairy flat rate until the end and then dip as they near 3v per cell. If I'm only using a small percentage of the capacity per race then not peaking them to 8.4 didn't seem so necessary.
One of my "bashing" trucks is an SC10 4x4 FT that I only do laps of our buggy track with so I'm happy to do 10 mins and stop if it means I can prolong the life of my batteries rather than run it flat out to cutoff straining the battery and making other stuff a bit warm as well.

Since we've finished racing out doors I've been using my saddles as single cells in my Mardave and I've noticed they don't fully peak when charged as a single cell and take more charge when balanced together but then don't end the charging procedure balanced with one at about 8.17 and the other at about 8.20 with some being as low as 8.12. I'm thinking the long run times and deep discharges to LVC have damaged them.
