A Castle Tech told me that we want to set the current limiting to
"insensitive" to avoid any false cut outs caused my momentary
voltage drops. Along with that, you should hard set the cell count
via the min voltage to 30V for a 10S setup. This has worked for
lots and lots of us for many years with the Castle controllers.<br>

FWIW - I have the CC Ice HV 80 in an Integral, and the
data logger<br>
typically shows the temp rising to around 140-150F (60-80
amp draw)<br>
and hovering there for the entire flight. Castle tech
support says<br>
that their controllers don't start throttling back the
juice until the<br>
internal temp reaches over 200F.<br>
<br>
What I find interesting is that I have the same controller
on my<br>
Osiris (5S pack vs. 10S pack) pulling the same 80 amps,
but the<br>
controller temp only rises to about 90F on the Osiris.<br>
<br>
I haven't downloaded the data from Andersonville, but I
didn't see any<br>
power loss all weekend. I'm sure that if the system was
going to<br>
overtemp, it would have happened this last weekend.<br>
