Cut off questions, Wismec DNA200 and Hotcig DX converted to dual 18650.

Hi everyone, I realised something today that I probably should of asked a long time ago, but just did not notice until today. 

On my 18650 powered DNA200's, the cut off is set at the standard setting.

Am I correct in thinking the hard limit is 2.85V per cell? So setting below this would not provide any benefit towards battery life? 

I was thinking of setting the soft cut off at 2.85V per cell. My DNA75 is set at 2.75V, and I understand I am safe in doing so with the batteries I use (LG HE4's). 

I just wondered if it is worth changing from the default setting, which is for a Li-Po, to a lower cut off for use with 18650's for longer battery life? 

Thank you for your help, Conan.

LiFePO4 isn't an option to use unless that's the type of battery that you have, I'm afraid you will just have to make due nwith the Li-Po selection. I set mine to 2.9 on 200/250 with round cells.

My apologies, I may have worded my question wrong. I understand that I should have Li-Po selected, I was just wondering what cut off would be best to set on the mods. 

I will give 2.9, or 2.85V as I believe this is the lowest possible on the DNA200 a go, and see if I get a noticeable increase in battery life.
