Introducing the CellShield Advanced Voltage Cutoff

The CellShield voltage cutoff is an advanced lithium ion and lithium polymer battery voltage cutoff for use with RC models.

Unlike other types of batteries, lithium packs can become damaged if the voltage of each cell drops below their specified minimum. The CellShield voltage cutoff prevents this from happening, by constantly sensing the the voltage of each cell. If any cells are in danger of being over discharged the CellShield triggers an immediate cutoff.

The CellShield voltage cutoff features a variable voltage cutoff, adjustable by a small dial on the back of the unit. The cutoff voltage can be varied from 2.5 volts to 3.5 volts, so you can use the CellShield with most lithium and lithium polymer batteries.

The CellShield voltage cutoff automatically detects how many cells your battery pack has. This lets the device know how to balance the pack during discharge, so that no cell gets over discharged. The cutoff voltage is also adjustable via a small dial on the back of the unit, so you can adjust the setting for different battery packs. The voltage cut off can be adjusted from 2.5 to 3.5 volts, which will protect most lithium and lithium polymer batteries.

Please note that if you use Thunderpower brand batteries, a 2 mm to 0.1 inch adapter is required, because the CellShield uses a different pin layout than Thunderpower connectors.
