What is the outcome of having an ESC that has a fixed cell count by parameter (Jeti Spin Pro 44) and using a larger cell count battery?  That was my only ESC that did not auto detect and I forgot when I switched batteries from a 5s Lipo to a 6s Li-Ion.  I was doing fine with the 5s Lipo but using more mah than I liked.  Typically 2200-2300 on a 2800 pack.  Switching to 6s seemed logical but the usage went UP and I was barely able to complete a pattern on one flight and ran into the LV cutoff in the overhead 8 on the next (fortunately I had it set to soft).  Autopsy reveled my mistake, if it was in fact a mistake that mattered.  I am used to the .1 or .2 drop in lap time from the Li-Ion but this should not have happened.  Can anyone fill me in on how an ESC reacts when it gets a higher voltage than expected?

After correcting the ESC the battery performed normally.  No clue why it went the way it did.  I would not have expected it to be drawing more current at first but it was.  Today a fresh 6s 2800 Li-Ion battery fully charged gave me a perfect (motor wise) pattern, three unwind loops and 6 extra laps and landed with 3.51 volts per cell.  Boost and overhead tension the same in the RWO and the OH8.  Life is good.  Now to attack my twin's wierdness.
