Default 5000mah 2s lipo, discharged to 6.6V??

Dear Guy's, need some advice, still trouble with my lipo's. When pack is discharged to 6.6V (5000mah pack), can I say that approx 2500mah is used?

Used this pack today, my shortcourse stopped after 2 min, still at 7.9Volts.
So discharged it with my lipocharger to 6.6V, still got 2500mah out of it.

I don't get this atall, can it be that my esc got to hot? and stopped?
Lipo buzzer did beep after 2min, set at 3.3v per cell.

Confused, confused. Hope for your expertise on this, Thanks again,..Appie

Why did you discharge it fully? I hope you recharged it. Or at least a storage charged.

Maybe a thermal cut out on the esc? Did it work ok with other cells?
What is your voltage cut off set to on the Esc? Under load the voltage can drop further which may have triggered a drop off.
Is your charger working correctly? Can you confirm your cells with a multimeter?

the voltage may have dipped when you hit full throttle. and triggered the low voltage cut out

Thanks for your support. I fully discharged, because I wanted to know about the mAh. Now recharged this pack to 8.4V got allmost 4000mAh into it.
Tested the volt's with my voltmeter, is says 8.55V.

So can I say this pack is OK? I think so
My ecs does have a lowvoltage cutoff, so have to work with a buzzer.
Maybe it's time to get a good esc.

Thanks again..........Appie
